Marinade Options for Shrimp
For our grilled shrimp skewers, we love marinating the shrimp in various flavorful options. When it comes to grilled shrimp marinade ideas, there are plenty of delicious options to choose from.
One of our favorites is a spicy shrimp marinade that adds a kick of heat and flavor to the dish. To make this marinade, combine olive oil, minced garlic, chopped cilantro, lime juice, and red pepper flakes. Let the shrimp marinate in this mixture for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to penetrate the meat.
Another great option is a tangy marinade made with soy sauce, honey, ginger, and sesame oil. This marinade adds a sweet and savory flavor to the shrimp, perfect for those who prefer a milder taste.
Whichever marinade you choose, be sure to let the shrimp soak in it for a while to ensure maximum flavor infusion.
Alternative Skewer Ingredients
To add variety to our grilled shrimp skewers, we enjoy exploring alternative ingredients for our skewers. While shrimp is a delicious option, we also love to incorporate vegetarian skewer options to cater to all our glamping companions.
One unique and flavorful alternative is grilled vegetable skewers. We take an assortment of colorful vegetables like bell peppers, zucchini, and cherry tomatoes, and thread them onto skewers alongside the shrimp. The combination of the smoky grilled vegetables and succulent shrimp creates a delightful medley of flavors.
Another way to add a twist to our skewers is by experimenting with unique marinade ideas. For a tangy and refreshing twist, we love marinating the shrimp in a mixture of lemon juice, garlic, and fresh herbs like parsley and dill. The marinade infuses the shrimp with a zesty flavor that pairs perfectly with the grilled vegetables.
Foil Packet Chicken and Vegetables
We love preparing foil packet chicken and vegetables for our glamping meals. It’s a simple yet delicious way to enjoy a hearty and nutritious meal in the great outdoors.
To make these foil packets, we start by marinating the chicken in a flavorful blend of herbs and spices. Then, we layer the marinated chicken with an assortment of colorful vegetables like bell peppers, zucchini, and onions.
We seal the foil packets tightly to lock in all the flavors and juices. When it’s time to cook, we place the packets on the grill or over an open fire, allowing the chicken and vegetables to steam and cook to perfection.
The result is tender, juicy chicken and perfectly cooked vegetables that make for a satisfying and wholesome glamping meal.

Cooking Over Campfire
To cook our cheesy campfire nachos, we’ll need to gather around the campfire and prepare the ingredients. Cooking over a campfire can be a fun and delicious experience, but it’s important to follow some cooking techniques and safety precautions to ensure a successful meal.
First, let’s gather our ingredients: tortilla chips, shredded cheese, diced tomatoes, sliced jalapenos, and any other toppings you desire.
Next, we’ll need a cast iron skillet or a fireproof dish to cook our nachos in. Place the skillet or dish over the campfire, making sure it’s stable and secure.
Once the skillet is hot, add a layer of tortilla chips, followed by a generous amount of shredded cheese. Repeat this layering process until you’ve used up all the chips and cheese.
Cover the skillet with a lid or foil to help melt the cheese and cook the nachos evenly. Cook for about 5-10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Remember to use caution when cooking over a campfire. Keep a safe distance from the flames and always have a fire extinguisher or water nearby in case of emergencies.
Now that our cheesy campfire nachos are ready, it’s time to dig in and enjoy this delicious camping treat. But before we do that, let’s move on to the next section where we’ll explore an easy camping snack.
