Scallops, Corn and Basil Steamed in Foil

Rate & Review

(170 people have added this recipe to their favorites.)

Using foil pouches, or hobo packs, is a fabulous way to grill seafood and sliced or cubed meat, because it allows food to steam in its own juices. Without any extra effort, you've got a naturally rich-tasting sauce.

wine recommendation

A New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc, with its characteristic tartness, will provide a refreshing contrast to the sweet scallops and their basil-scented sauce. Try the 2002 Grove Mill or the 2002 Firstland.

excellent!  I tossed some summer squash in a tiny amount bacon grease and added that to the packets, and it was delicious!

Wow!  Just made half recipe for the 2 of us.  Wish we had made enough for leftovers (ate every bite).  Was worried that the tomato or basil would be overpowering, but the flavors melded wonderfully!  Husband, who is so-so about tomatoes, raved about it.  Could easily pick them out if especially squeamish.  Couldn't believe the only seasonings were salt and pepper.  So easy and only dirtied a cutting board and a knife. Will definitely make again.  Look forward to making for company!
