WEEK 11: Peak GRill Season

---

Herb-Marinated Grilled Chicken 

Grilled Lime-Garlic Shrimp Skewers 

Grilled Vegetable and Black Beans

Grilled Chuck Steak 

Grilled Honey-Soy Chicken 

Spicy Grilled Shrimp and Beef Kebabs 

This week leans fully into grilling season — simple marinades, high heat, and dinners that feel fresh, satisfying, and just a little bit indulgent without being heavy. You’ll fire up the grill most nights, reuse familiar ingredients in smart ways, and keep cleanup minimal while still putting real, flavorful meals on the table.

It’s a great balance of chicken, shrimp, beef, and vegetables, with enough variety to keep things interesting and enough repetition to keep the grocery list efficient.

As always, these six dinners are designed to feed four, reuse proteins where it makes sense, and keep weeknight cooking efficient without sacrificing flavor.

Herb-Marinated Grilled Chicken with Charred Vegetables
A classic, no-nonsense grilled chicken dinner that delivers big flavor with minimal prep. The herb marinade keeps the chicken juicy, while the vegetables get lightly charred and tender on the grill.

Grilled Lime-Garlic Shrimp Skewers with Grilled Corn
Fast-cooking shrimp with bright citrus and garlic, paired with sweet corn straight from the grill. This one comes together quickly and feels especially satisfying on a warm night.

Grilled Vegetable and Black Bean Foil Packets
A hearty vegetarian option that doesn’t feel like an afterthought. The foil packets lock in flavor, making this an easy, hands-off dinner that’s filling and grill-friendly.

Grilled Chuck Steak and Vegetable Salad with Herb Vinaigrette
A lighter take on steak night. Tender slices of grilled beef are served over fresh greens and vegetables, finished with a punchy herb vinaigrette that ties everything together.

Grilled Honey-Soy Chicken with Grilled Asparagus
Sweet, savory, and simple. The honey-soy glaze caramelizes beautifully on the grill, and asparagus cooks alongside the chicken for an easy, well-balanced plate.

Spicy Grilled Shrimp and Beef Kebabs with Sweet Potato Rounds
A mixed-protein grill night that feels a little more fun. Shrimp and beef cook quickly on skewers, while sweet potato rounds add a hearty, satisfying side.
