    Grilled Pork Chops with Thyme and Rosemary

    As a stay-at-home parent, I am always looking for creative ways to make meals that are both delicious and easy to prepare. One of my favorite recipes is grilled pork chops with thyme and rosemary. Not only is the flavor profile amazing, but it is also a great way to get out of the kitchen in a hurry.

    This recipe is incredibly simple, as it only requires a few ingredients. To make this delicious dish, you will need four pork chops, one teaspoon of dried thyme, one teaspoon of dried rosemary, one tablespoon of olive oil, a pinch of salt and pepper, and some garlic powder for extra flavor.

    The first step is to season the pork chops with the thyme, rosemary, salt and pepper, garlic powder and olive oil. Make sure to evenly coat the chops with the seasonings. Once the pork chops are seasoned, it’s time to fire up the grill.

    If you have a gas grill, preheat it to medium-high heat. If you have a charcoal grill then you’ll want to wait for the coals to turn white before cooking your pork chops. Place the seasoned pork chops directly on the grill and cook them for about four minutes on each side or until they reach an internal temperature of 145 degrees Fahrenheit.

    Once your pork chops are done cooking, let them rest for five minutes before serving. The result will be perfectly cooked pork chops that are full of flavor. The combination of thyme and rosemary creates an earthy aroma that pairs perfectly with the succulent taste of grilled pork.

    I remember making this recipe when I was just a kid living at home with my parents. My dad was always grilling something on Sunday afternoons in our backyard and this was one of his favorite dishes. It brings back so many childhood memories every time I make it.

    So if you’re looking for an easy yet delicious meal that will make your family smile, then look no further than this classic grilled pork chop recipe with thyme and rosemary!

    Grilled Shrimp with Spicy Marinade

    As a stay-at-home parent, I’m always looking for easy and delicious recipes that the whole family can enjoy. Grilled shrimp with spicy marinade is a favorite of ours because it is relatively quick and simple to make, and the flavor is always a hit! Plus, I can have dinner on the table in about 30 minutes.

    This recipe combines a blend of seasonings to create a flavorful marinade for plump, juicy shrimp. The combination of garlic powder, paprika, onion powder and cayenne pepper give the shrimp a zesty kick while still keeping it mild enough for kids to enjoy. To add even more flavor, I like to top it off with freshly squeezed lemon juice and a sprinkle of fresh, chopped parsley.

    To make the marinade, simply combine all of the ingredients in a large bowl and mix until everything is well combined. Then add your shrimp to the bowl and toss until they’re evenly coated. Let the shrimp marinate for at least 15 minutes before grilling them over medium-high heat for 2-3 minutes per side.

    Ingredients:

    – 1 lb. raw shrimp
    – 2 cloves garlic (minced)
    – 2 tablespoons olive oil
    – 1 teaspoon garlic powder
    – 1 teaspoon paprika
    – 1 teaspoon onion powder
    – ½ teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)
    – Salt and pepper to taste
    – 1 lemon (juiced)
    – Chopped parsley (optional)

    I love making this recipe because it reminds me of my grandfather—he was an avid fisherman and would often bring home fresh shrimp from his trips out on the boat. He had an old charcoal grill that he used to cook up his catch of the day. I can still remember how amazing his grilled seafood smelled wafting through my grandparents’ house on summer evenings. He was also known for his spicy marinade—a combination of garlic, paprika, onion powder and cayenne pepper that he would brush over whatever he was grilling. To this day, when I make this recipe I can’t help but think of him and his love for cooking up seafood on the grill.

    Grilled shrimp with spicy marinade is an easy and delicious meal that’s sure to please everyone at the table! Serve it over steamed rice or with a side salad for a complete meal. Enjoy!
