Instead of the foods we normally enjoy on the 4th of July, burgers, hot dogs, ribs, I decided this year to enjoy some untraditional items for our meal!
We started with a fresh and cool caprese salad!
I grilled boneless skinless chicken thighs (seasoned with Kinder's Italian Chicken seasoning) along with boneless pork chops (seasoned with Hardin's Seasoning).
I cooked broccoli (seasoned with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper) on the Blackstone as one of the side dishes.
Thankfully, I had two pounds of Gulf Shrimp in the freezer. After peeling and deveining, I drizzled with olive oil and seasoned with Kinder's The Seafood Blend, and cooked on the Blackstone.
This platter was definitely a crowd favorite! Sweet Italian Sausage, smoked bratwurst, and Conecuh Sausage all grilled until they were charred and served along with grilled sweet peppers. Whole grain mustard and horseradish sauce were delicious accompaniments and helped cut the richness of the sausages.
Deviled eggs always make an appearance on the table no matter what the menu happens to be!
Instead of slaw or a salad, I grilled romaine and radicchio on the Blackstone after drizzling with olive oil and seasoning with sea salt and freshly ground black pepper. A light oil and vinegar dressing at the table added the perfect finishing touch.
Pickled okra and peperoncini peppers finished out the menu!
That was a great meal
