Weber Grill Recipes - Pork, Shrimp and Chicken
Weber make an excellent range of outdoor cooking products that mean you can bring the kitchen outdoors. Instead of the usual boring BBQ foods like sausages and burgers you can cook interesting and delicious Weber Recipes on either the Weber Q, Weber e320, Weber e310, or Weber e210, there is also a great range of Weber accessories to help.I cook often on my Weber Q and I will share with you a few of my favourite Weber Q recipes.
SPICY BBQ PORK SPARE RIBS
The first of my favourite Weber Recipes is one of the meals I grill most often. Spicy Pork Ribs. You can vary the amount of chilli you use according to your taste. I like a bit of a spicy taste but not so much that it is over powering.
Feeds 8 People
Ingredients
4 Pounds of Pork Spare Ribs
6 Spring Onions, roughly chop all of the spring onion including the green stems.
Half a Scotch Bonnet Chilli. If you like spicy food use a whole chilli. If not used a small amount and no seeds.
5 tablespoons brown sugar
6 tablespoons dark soy sauce
3 tablespoons Dijon mustard
4 Cloves of Garlic finely chopped
6 tablespoons of rum
6 tablespoons of honey
Mix the marinade ingredients in a non metallic bowl. Marinade for at least two hours and make sure the ribs are fully coated in the sauce. The longer you leave the ribs marinating the better the taste. You can leave them up to 24 hours if covered and in the fridge.
Grill for 20 minutes on a medium heat and serve with green salad and baked potatoes. Cream cheese and fresh chives.

TANDOORI SHRIMP SKEWERS
Seafood is excellent when cooked on a Weber grill. Another of my favourite Weber recipes is Tandoori Shrimp.
Serves 4 people
Ingredients
Roughly 32 large shrimp
2 cups plain yoghurt
2 green chilli, de-seeded and chopped.
1 tablespoons grated ginger root
3 cloves of garlic, finely chopped
1/2 ounce of salt
1/2 ounce black cumin seeds
1/2 ounce garam masala
1 tablespoon vinegar
2 tablespoons rapeseed oil
1/2 ounce paprika
De-shell and de vein the prawns, mix the marinade ingredients in a non metallic bowl. Cover in the fridge for 2 hours and then thread onto 4 skewers and grill on a hot BBQ for roughly 10 minutes.
Serve the prawns with fresh nan bread, mint yoghurt and mango chutney. This works great as a starter.

OUTDOOR HICKORY SMOKED CHICKEN
Weber don't just make grills, one of the best ways to cook a chicken is on a smoker. Weber Smokers are among the best available and there are some excellent Weber Recipes to use with smokers. Here is a hickory smoked chicken recipe. This is one of my Weber Recipes that is always very popular.
Serves 4-6
Ingredients
6 large, fresh chicken legs. Use the best quality fresh chicken.
Next, in a non metallic bowl mix the ingredients and marinade the chicken for at least two hours
1 ounce fresh thyme
1 ounce fresh sage
1 ounce lemon zest
1/8 ounce cayenne pepper
4 Tablespoons olive oil
1 ounce salt
1 ounce fresh ground pepper
You will need a good quantity of hickory chips for the smoker. Whilst the chicken is marinading in the fridge you can soak the hickory chips in beer for two hours. These chips are what makes the smoke and adds the amazing flavour to the chicken.
Smoked chicken is very tender, it falls of the bone. In my opinion it is worth finding the best quality chicken you can. I have specified chicken legs in this recipe but it is just as good with a whole chicken. If you use a whole chicken you can also fill the cavity with a little garlic, butter and as many quartered fresh lemons as you can fit. This will help the taste to penetrate the meat.
Use a meat thermometer to check the chicken and make sure it is properly cooked. The correct temperature for cooked chicken is 160 degrees F. With a Webber smoker you can cook two chickens at the same time. If you serve them to a party of guests with fresh bread. Plenty of salad, fries and white wine they will go fast.
