Shrimp en Papillote

This is surprisingly easy, amazingly tasty, and unwittingly healthy.

Broccoli, shallot, garlic, carrot, hot pepper, shrimp.

Brush a sheet of parchment with a little vegetable oil.

On one half of the parchment, arrange as follows: Garlic, hot pepper, broccoli, carrot, shallot, shrimp. Drizzle sesame oil and soy sauce over top, and a little ground pepper.

Fold parchment over, and fold up the edges several time, creasing as you go to create the seal. Place on a sheet, and bake at 400F for 12 minutes.

Serve by cutting open the pouch with scissors. There will be steam, so don't burn yourself.

Luckily, I have a pizza stone, so I can do this stuff RIGHT.
