Quick and simple BBQ ideas to prepare for summer
Quick and simple BBQ ideas to prepare for summer
Corn on the cob
The traditional BBQ side dish of grilled corn on the cob is excellent while you’re camping during the summer. The natural sugars in the corn are caramelised during grilling, which increases its sweetness and gives it a faint burnt flavour. The corn is grilled over an open flame and its flavour is heightened when accompanied by a generous helping of butter, some salt, and pepper. Any grilled meat, such as chicken, steak, or burgers, goes great with grilled corn on the cob.
Smoked beef brisket
Although it sounds intimidating, a good beef brisket only requires a mixture of salt, pepper, and BBQ seasoning—it’s easier if you purchase one that’s already made. To make the brisket tender and juicy, smoke it for the necessary number of hours (a 16-pound brisket would require roughly 10–12 hours). Serve it with some coleslaw and cornbread on the side. Beef brisket that is properly smoked and blackened is usually a crowd favourite so you can’t go wrong with this option.
Grilled shrimp skewers
Season some juicy shrimp using an all-purpose seasoning of your choice, string them onto skewers, and cook to perfection on the grill. This will give your shrimp a flavour-enhancing, delicately charred exterior. The inherent sweetness of the shrimp will come through and the smoky flavour of the grill will give this delicacy added depth. The skewers can be served with various dipping sauces and sides, like citrusy lemon wedges, rich garlic butter, or a tangy cocktail sauce.
Grilled pineapple
A sweet and tangy BBQ dish that is ideal for a hot summer day is grilled pineapple. Slices of the pineapple can be prepared and cooked over an open flame until they caramelise and have grill marks. Grilled pineapple is multi-purpose when it comes to grilled feasts with family and friends because they can be served as a dessert with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream or even work great as a snack to quench your guests’ thirst. These are delicious, sweet, and juicy treats.
Use flavoursome rubs and seasonings to bring these simple BBQ ideas come to life
It’s crucial to purchase the highest quality seasonings and rubs to achieve the best cook on all the dishes you want to prepare for your grilled feast.
From a good all-purpose rub to a salt, pepper, and garlic seasoning that truly delivers the tri-factor of flavour, having these products in your arsenal will definitely elevate your summer BBQ experience.
