BBQ Recipe Trio for a Successful New Year's Eve with Weber
This year, kick off your New Year’s Eve with a touch of togetherness and incomparable flavours, all thanks to your barbecue or plancha. Whether you’re using your trusty Weber Barbecue, or any other grilling equipment, these three recipes will elevate your grilling skills and impress your guests.
From shrimp skewers to a light and fruity dessert, discover this perfect trio for a memorable evening, all prepared right on your barbecue or plancha.
For the appetiser: Grilled Shrimp Skewers
To start your New Year’s Eve evening on a savoury note, nothing beats grilled shrimp skewers. This simple yet delicious recipe requires marinating the shrimp in a mixture of olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, salt, and pepper.
Thread the shrimp onto wooden skewers that have been soaked in water, and grill them on the barbecue for a few minutes on each side. Serve the hot skewers with a homemade cocktail sauce or spicy sauce for an appetiser that will win over all your guests.
Weber Tip: With a Weber barbecue, you’ll enjoy perfectly even and quick cooking for your skewers. Be sure to use a hot grill to sear the shrimp to perfection.
For the main course: Grilled Lamb Chops
For the main course, go for juicy, flavourful lamb chops. To ensure perfect cooking, marinate your lamb chops in a mixture of fresh herbs, garlic, salt, and pepper for at least an hour.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat, and cook the chops for 3 to 4 minutes on each side for a perfect medium, or adjust to your preferred doneness. Serve the lamb chops with roasted potatoes and seasonal vegetables for a balanced and delicious main course.
Weber Tip: The lid of a Weber barbecue helps concentrate the flavours, cooking your lamb chops evenly, with a beautifully seared exterior and tender, juicy interior.
For dessert: Grilled Fruit Skewers for a Sweet Touch
To end the meal on a fresh, indulgent note, treat yourself to grilled fruit skewers. Choose your favourite fresh fruits, such as pineapple, mango, strawberries, and bananas, for an explosion of flavours.
Thread the fruits onto wooden skewers and grill them on the barbecue until they’re deliciously caramelised. Serve these warm skewers with a scoop of vanilla ice cream and a drizzle of maple syrup for a sweet and refreshing dessert.
Weber Tip: The indirect heat of a Weber barbecue allows the fruits to caramelise without burning, bringing out their natural sweetness.
To make your New Year’s Eve unforgettable, try this trio of grilled dishes. Fully enjoy this special evening and have a wonderful year ahead. So, fire up your barbecue or plancha and celebrate the new year with a warm, delicious, and festive meal.
Bon appétit and Happy New Year!
