    Mixed Grill Combo (Beef, Chicken, Shrimp)

    20191206_154302.jpg

    Grilling is a form of cooking that involves dry heat applied to the surface of food, commonly from above or below. Grilling usually involves a significant amount of direct, radiant heat, and tends to be used for cooking meat and vegetables quickly. Grilled meat, shrimp, or fish, acquires a distinctive roast aroma and flavor which is one of the many reasons I love grilling. Another reason I prefer grilling to other methods of cooking is because grilled meat for instance, contains less fat when compared to just boiled meat. Yes, I performed the experiment myself. I have made chicken oil out of whole chicken on several occasions believe it or not. How? very simple. I boiled a whole hen, drained the water (I guess you can call it chicken broth), baked the chicken, and drained the oil out of the baking pan when fully baked. Anyways that’s not even what this writing is about. This piece is about an extremely delicious recipes of mixed grill combo of chicken, beef, and shrimp. Okay let’s put this recipe together shall we?

    1 lbs sliced chicken breasts

    1 lbs raw shrimp

    1 lbs sliced beef

    3 bay leafs

    1 beef stock
