Steps:
- Start by cutting off four 16-inch pieces of Reynolds Wrap® Heavy Duty Aluminum Foil.
- Rinse clams and mussels in cold running water
- Place the Halibut (or fish of your choice) in the center of one piece of the foil. Coat both sides of the fish with olive and season with sea salt and black pepper
- Add the mussels and clams to the sides of the fish, placing the shrimp on top of the seafood and placing the garlic cloves in the shellfish.
- Bring up the long sides of the foil, so the ends meet over the food. Double fold the ends, leaving a little room for heat to circulate inside. Double fold the two short ends to seal the packet.
- Place the foil packet on top of an additional piece of foil and enclose the package. This will help prevent leaks into the grill and offer a little more protection from the heat.
- Preheat your grill to 350 degrees and place the packets on the grill grates. Close the lid and allow the packets to cook for 15 minutes. This will fully cook the fish and shrimp while steaming the clams and mussels open.
- Carefully remove the foil packets from the grill and cut them open. *The steam can burn you so take your time and be careful when opening the packets.
- Using a spatula place the fish in the center of a bowl (or plate) and place the clams, mussels, and shrimp around the fish. Pour the juice from the packet over the seafood and garnish with chopped parsley and crushed red pepper flakes.

Steps:
- Heat gas or charcoal grill. Cut 8 (18x12-inch) sheets of heavy-duty foil; spray with cooking spray.
- Place 4 clams, shrimp and scallops in center of each sheet; top each with 2 pieces of corn and 4 tomatoes. In small bowl, mix butter ingredients. Drizzle about 2 teaspoons butter over seafood and vegetables in each packet.
- Bring up 2 sides of foil so edges meet. Seal edges, making tight 1/2-inch fold; fold again, allowing space for heat circulation and expansion. Fold other sides to seal.
- Place packets on grill over medium heat. Cover grill; cook 15 to 20 minutes, rotating packets 1/2 turn after 10 minutes, or until clam shells have opened, shrimp are pink, and scallops are white and opaque. (Cooking time may vary depending on ingredients selected) Discard any clams that don't open.
- To serve, cut large X across top of each packet; carefully fold back foil to allow steam to escape. Top with chives.

Tips:
- Choose fresh and high-quality seafood: The quality of your seafood will greatly impact the taste of your dish. Look for seafood that is firm, plump, and has a mild, briny smell.
- Use a variety of vegetables: Vegetables add color, flavor, and nutrients to your foil packs. Choose vegetables that have different cooking times so that they all cook evenly. Some good options include broccoli, carrots, zucchini, and potatoes.
- Season your seafood and vegetables well: Don't be afraid to use plenty of herbs and spices to flavor your foil packs. Some good options include garlic, lemon, dill, and paprika.
- Use a good quality olive oil: Olive oil will help to keep your seafood and vegetables moist and flavorful. You can also use other types of cooking oil, such as avocado oil or coconut oil.
- Seal your foil packs tightly: This will help to keep the steam and flavor inside the packs. You can use a double layer of foil to make sure that the packs are sealed well.
- Cook your foil packs over medium-high heat: This will help to cook the seafood and vegetables evenly. If you cook the packs over too low heat, the seafood will not cook properly and the vegetables will become mushy.
Conclusion:
Seafood foil packs are a quick, easy, and delicious way to cook seafood. They are perfect for busy weeknights or for entertaining guests. With a little planning, you can create a variety of foil pack recipes that everyone will enjoy. So next time you're looking for a healthy and flavorful seafood dish, give foil packs a try!
