Barbecued Lime Shrimp and Corn
Photography: Photography: Becky Luigart-Stayner; Styling: Lydia DeGaris-Pursell; With virtually no cleanup, cooking a meal in foil over the fire is simple. Buy premade foil oven bags, or fashion your own from heavy-duty aluminum foil. Then toss the bag directly on the coals. If you skip the couscous, soak up the juices with French bread.
