Hawaiian Teriyaki Shrimp Kebabs Recipe | Club Foody

 

When BBQ season is here and the weather starts getting warmer, our grill works full time! It can be a nice juicy steak 🥩, a crispy rotisserie chickenburgers or hot dogs, grilled fish such as tuna or marlin, vegetables especially when I make my Fire Roasted Salsa or Elotes, fruits, etc.
 
Another favorite of ours is kebabs 🍢! I have several delicious recipes on the website such as Shawarma Chicken KebabsYakitori Chicken SkewersBBQ Beef Shish KebabsCreole Shrimp and Andouille SkewersShish Tawook, etc. Here’s another one to add to this list… my Hawaiian Teriyaki Shrimp Kebabs!
 
These are totally OMG 🤯! Extremely tasty and very colorful, these perfectly grilled skewers are a great recipe to make this summer! With a beautiful assortment of vegetables, pineapple pieces and shrimp plus my delicious Teriyaki Sauce, this is a beautiful meal everyone will love!
 
This Hawaiian Teriyaki Shrimp Kebabs is pretty straightforward and so easy to make. After threading on the vegetables , fruit 🍍 and shrimp, the skewers are placed on well-oiled grates. They’re cooked between 450ºF to 500ºF for 8 to 10 minutes.
 
When threading on the ingredients, make sure to leave a space in between so the heat can go through and cook them evenly. The same applies with the shrimp 🍤 that has been pierced twice… leave a space in between each end as well.
 
You should have 3 shrimp per skewer. I like to start and finish with a green pepper piece. It’s thick and holds well on the stainless-steel skewer. Stay away from starting and finishing with a piece of onion 🧅 as it’s thin and will fall off during grilling.
 
What makes this recipe stand up in the flavor department is my Hawaiian Style Teriyaki Sauce! Besides this one, I use it on wings or in recipes like Pineapple Teriyaki ChickenHawaiian Teriyaki Burgers 🍔, and Teriyaki Beef Noodles.
 
Before cooking down the sauce, it yields 2 cups. To be able to brush on this deliciousness on the kebabs, it has to be reduced down to about ¾ cup. Simply follow the directions but don’t cook it as long; 15 to 20 minutes ⏰ on medium heat should be sufficient. You’ll see when it starts to thicken.
 
These Hawaiian Teriyaki Shrimp Kebabs are the perfect recipe to make 👩‍🍳👨‍🍳 this summer! It takes only 30 minutes to enjoy these succulent skewers. Served on a bed of rice and sprinkled with some chopped green onions, this is a light meal that will certainly please everyone…
Bon Appétit! 🍽

Funnel Cakes Recipe • A Crispy & Delicious Snack! | Club Foody

 

Across North America, spring Carnivals have already started! They are a fun place to spend the day with friends and family. There are rides like the Ferris wheel and carousel, a mix of games, and live entertainment such as bands, circus acts 🎪, parades, etc.
 
There’s also lots of food vendors where you can find caramel apples 🍏, corn dogs, churros, fried pickles, caramel popcorn, walking tacos, cotton candy, Mexican street corn, fried ice cream, pretzels, and many more including this one… Funnel Cakes!
 
These little guys can be found at most amusement parks 🎠, fairs and carnivals. They’re incredibly easy to make and takes only 10 minutes. Instead of waiting for your local carnival to show up, these can be made any day of the year.
 
Like most traditional recipes, I like to add my little touch and bring them a notch higher in the flavor department 😋. When I make them, I like adding ground cinnamon to my mixture… not a lot but enough to give another level of yumminess.
 
Here are a few options for making the shape of the Funnel Cakes…
– An old regular funnel (where the name came from) is one of them… Put your finger under to block the bottom opening when pouring the batter inside and remove your finger as needed to control the flow while making circular movements.
– The next best thing is using a measuring cup and slowly pour the batter in a thin stream into the oil.
– Another alternative is to use a squeeze bottle.
– The one I like using is a stainless-steel batter dispenser but don’t go buy it 🛒 if you don’t have one… the other methods work just fine.
 
When the oil temperature reaches 375ºF, the batter is slowly poured in a circular motion to create about a 5-inch circle, slightly overlapping. We’re not making a sculpture 🗿 like Constantin Brâncuşi or Gian Lorenzo Bernini so don’t stress out trying to make them perfect.
 
It takes only 1:30 minutes ⏳ per side to fry until golden. When they’re done, use either a spider strainer or a slotted spoon to transfer them onto a plate lined with paper towels to drain the excess oil. While they’re still warm, dust them with powdered sugar and serve immediately… it’s that easy!
 
Don’t wait an entire year and bring the carnival to your kitchen by making these tasty Funnel Cakes! This recipe takes less than 15 minutes and everyone can enjoy this popular food item straight from the comfort of your own home 🏡…
Bon Appétit! 🍽

Calico Beans aka Cowboy Beans Recipe • Tasty Side! | Club Foody

 

Summer is about having fun, being outside, going on vacation 🛫 or camping, enjoying outdoor activities, relaxing and recharging. It’s also the time when we fire up the barbecue, host backyard parties, go for picnics with family and friends.
 
I don’t know if you’re like me but it seems that we serve the same side dishes over and over. Everyone makes either pasta or potato saladscoleslawsfriescorn on the cob 🌽, roasted potatoesonion rings, etc.
 
There’s one side that is not often found on tables but incredibly tasty and it’s Calico Beans also know as Cowboy Beans! With a nice combination of vegetables, bacon, ground beef and seasonings, this delicious recipe is perfect to pair with grilled foods 🔥.
 
This one-pot crowd pleaser dish is easy to make! After rendering the bacon fat slowly, the meat is scooped up into a bowl and set aside while the vegetables are sautéed. Ground beef is added to the pot and broken into small pieces, then cooked halfway through before adding pressed garlic 🧄.
 
When the meat is no longer pink, there will be some fat coming up to the surface therefore, the mixture has to cook longer. Normally, 5 minutes ⏰ is enough to get rid most of the fat. There will still be some and it’s okay as it gives a nice flavor to the dish.
 
It won’t be Calico Beans without the legumes…
When the meat is done, well-rinsed kidney and lima beans are added to the mixture. Another one that joins the party is baked beans. I like Bush’s Maple & Cured Bacon Hickory but use your preferred brand. If you want to make 👩‍🍳👨‍🍳 them from scratch, here’s my recipe… Old Fashioned Baked Beans with Bacon
 
Then comes the rest of the ingredients: brown sugar, ketchup, prepared yellow mustard and white vinegar. BBQ sauce is stirred 🥄 in as well. I use my Kansas City BBQ Sauce but nothing is stopping you from using the one you like.
 
The cooked bacon 🥓 goes back into the pot and after being well mixed, the mixture simmers gently for 45 minutes, stirring often. This gives time for the flavors to mingle and also to reduce the amount of liquid… after all, it’s a side dish, not a soup!
 
With all the summer gatherings, make something deliciously different like these Calico Beans! This easy, one-pot recipe is a nice hearty casserole that pairs beautifully with grilled foods, hot dogs 🌭, burgers, sandwiches, etc. but can also be enjoyed on its own…
Bon Appétit! 🍽

Guava Strawberry Banana Smoothie Recipe | Club Foody

I try very hard to eat something in the morning. I love breakfast but I get so wrapped up with the website that next thing I know, it’s noon unless I have to film a breakfast/brunch recipe. The odd time is when there’s a Holiday, birthday 🥳 or David is making it for us.
 
Most times, smoothies are probably the ones I have the most. Over the years, I created over 25 amazing recipes and so far, there are about a dozen of them on the site 💻. Here’s another one to add to the list… Guava Strawberry Banana Smoothie!
 
Using fresh ingredients, this tasty beverage is loaded with yumminess! Like any other smoothies, it’s very quick ⏳ and easy to make plus so refreshing! This is a healthy way to enjoy fruits while replenishing yourself after fasting overnight with good nutrients.
 
Guava has a beautiful flavor profile. I find it’s a cross between strawberry 🍓 and passionfruit with a hint of lemon in the background. It’s not totally sweet or sour… it’s a mix of these two. This tropical fruit is very easy to prep and here’s the link to know how… Guava Fruit • How to Handle
 
This Guava Strawberry Banana Smoothie has a gorgeous combination of fruit! To turn this into a scrumptious beverage, other ingredients are added which are vanilla yogurt, milk and agave nectar. Almond milk can be substituted in lieu of milk and the same with honey 🍯 instead of agave.
 
Delicious and satisfying, this Guava Strawberry Banana Smoothie is certainly a nice way to start the day! If your morning is busy or you tend to skip breakfast like me, this is a quick item to prepare. It’s also perfect to take on the go 🏃‍♀️…
Cheers!🧉

Chicken Spice Mix Recipe - Tips & Tricks | Club Foody

 

Over the years, I’ve been mixing a lot of spice blends. It all started because I found that Montréal Steak Spice sold at the store was way too salty 🧂! To remedy that situation, I looked on the label and tried to duplicate it while reducing the sodium amount… it worked!
 
I started doing this with other blends and eventually, I created several of my own like this featured one… Chicken Spice Mix! Like all the others, this recipe is quick and easy to make 👨‍🍳👩‍🍳! With a gorgeous combination of different spices such as smoked paprika, onion powder, rosemary, etc., this will certainly enhance your foods.
 
It’s a great spice recipe to have on hand. Besides its amazing flavor 🤩, this is a nice way to recycle your spices. Like anything else, they don’t last forever. With time, they lose their potency so this is a smart way to use them up by creating other blends.
 
I use this Chicken Spice Mix when I do rotisserie on the barbecue 🔥, for my oven baked chicken method or when making my Beer Can Chicken. It can also be used for any other poultry such as duck, turkey, geese, quail, pheasant, and so on.
 
This Chicken Spice Mix is an excellent one to make. After mixing 🥄 the ingredients very well, it can be stored in an airtight container in a cool, dry area. It will keep for up to 3 to 4 months.
Bon Appétit! 🍽
 
Here are the ingredient amounts for Chickes Spice Mix…
1 1/2 tbsp. smoked paprika
1/2 tbsp. onion powder
1/2 tbsp. garlic powder
1 tsp. dried basil leaves
1 tsp. ground thyme
1 tsp. dried rosemary, chopped
1 tsp. ground sage
1 tsp. ground Himalayan pink salt
1 tsp. freshly ground black pepper (I always use mixed peppercorns)
1/2 tsp. cayenne pepper
 
In a bowl, combine all the ingredients and whisk until blended. Store the blend in an airtight container in a dark, cool place. Yields ¼ cup.

Beer Can Chicken Recipe • Juicy and Delicious! | Club Foody

 

The other day, I was talking 📞 with my brother and we were sharing our favorite barbecued foods. We both always liked anything on the grill. While I was telling him about Huli-Huli ChickenElotesCanadian Smoky Pork Ribs, and Grilled Tuna Steaks, he was telling me his…
 
At one point, he brought up something I’ve never tried before and it’s Beer Can Chicken! When I told David about it, we were curious about trying it. We bought the appropriate roasting kit, got a whole chicken 🐓, and made it…
 
It was an OMG 🤯!
The meat was juicy and so delicious! The well-seasoned chicken sitting on a canister filled with beer along with herbs and a large garlic clove 🧄, is grilled on the barbecue until it reaches an internal temperature of 175ºF while being brushed with my lovely BBQ Sauce for Chicken
 
Like any of my recipes, this Beer Can Chicken is loaded with flavor! After being rinsed under cold water 💦 and patted dry, the bird sits right on top of the canister. From there, I apply a gorgeous rub made with my homemade Chicken Spice Mix, brown sugar and canola oil. That alone gives an amazing taste to it.
 
The roasting kit can be found at most hardware stores or online. The price is reasonable and it comes with a canister and a lid, a stand to slide the canister in and a tray with handles. If you don’t want to buy it 🛒, here’s another way of doing it…
 
Sacrifice yourself by drinking half the beer 🍺 and fill it up with chopped basil, thyme sprigs and roughly chopped garlic. Place the can on an aluminum tray with edges in case the little guy gets drunk during the roasting time and falls off, creating a mess on the grill.
 
Either you go with or without the kit, make sure the bird is sitting comfortably over the canister by moving its legs forward to balance the weight, then apply the rub, coating the entire surface. I use canola oil in the rub with its smoke point at 450ºF but clarified butter 🧈 can be used (smoke point 480ºF).
 
With the heat ranging from 375ºF to 400ºF, the stand (or aluminum tray) is placed in the middle of the barbecue on indirect heat 🔥, close the lid and cook until the internal temperature reads 175ºF… easy-peasy, right!
 
After 45 minutes it has been sitting there… literally, we’ll brush on some of my BBQ Sauce for Chicken. I normally use a cup. We’ll close the lid and repeat every 15 minutes until it’s done. Depending on the size of your bird, it can take from 1:30 to 2 hours ⏰.
 
This Beer Can Chicken roasting method gives incredible results! Basted from the inside and well-seasoned outside, this is a delicious BBQ recipe to make this summer 🌴.
Bon Appétit! 🍽
