What Should I Cook?

The in-laws are here for the week and I want to cook possibly a few meals on the Egg for them. I can't decide what to cook, though. There will be six of us. Last time they were here, I did a Boston Butt and they loved it. I would like to do a brisket, but I've never done one before and am worried that my first one may be a flop...
Any ideas?

Stuffed pork loin fairly easy and impressive looking . Been a few done on here you could search itLarge Big Green Egg , XL Big Green Egg . BBQ Guru, Weber Kettle, Weber Q grill for road trips.

Good idea! What would you stuff it with?
-
Ribs or chicken wings are my go to for something like that

As you know, the list is endless. But, if you want something everyone will like and is easy, do some shrimp (just don't overcook it). Fried, sautéed, grilled, stir fried, scampi, bacon wrapped, etc. etc.__________________________________________Dripping Springs, Texas.Just west of Austintatious

First question is... do you want them to be regular visitors?---------------------------------------------------------------------------------Well, "spa-Peggy" is kind of like spaghetti. I'm not sure what Peggy does different, if anything. But it's the one dish she's kind of made her own.____________________Aurora, Ontario, Canada

Haha - @TexanOfTheNorth they're from SD and I'm in GA so I don't have to worry too much about that! Perhaps I should've clarified that these ARE good in-laws! I don't want to poison them ">Thanks for all the ideas so far!

What temperature do you grill shrimp and for how long?

Tri-tip is a good alternative to brisket if you want to give that a try. It is really good and it is a quick cook.This is the recipe I used:It is a little harder to find...I haven't seen it in the grocery stores. You can find it at Costco or in specialty butchers.Since you are cooking a few meals- I would definitely do chicken for one of them. Doesn't really matter what- wings, thighs, quarters, or a couple of spatchcock.Which came first the chicken or the egg? I egged the chicken and then I ate his leg.

I use a medium high heat .... 400 or so, and grill until just pink (maybe a minute on each side or less). Shrimp gets rubbery when overcooked. After a while, you'll get a feel for it, but until then, buy more than you'll need and test it while cooking by eating a few.__________________________________________Dripping Springs, Texas.Just west of Austintatious

If you enjoy seafood you might also consider putting some scallops on.---------------------------------------------------------------------------------Well, "spa-Peggy" is kind of like spaghetti.

Pizza nights are always fun. They can build them the way they like.

If you want to really impress them do a reverse sear prime rib.

The only downside is that they will probably start looking at local real estate after the meal.XXL BGE, Karebecue, Klose BYC, Chargiller Akorn Kamado, Weber Smokey Mountain, Grand Turbo gasser, Weber Smoky Joe, and the wheelbarrow that my grandfather used to cook steaks from his cattle

Made @NecessaryIndulgences pistachio shrimp last night along with some scallops seared in a CI skillet. I think it was a hit!
Tonight I'm doing @Cazzy's wings - they're marinating right now. I don't know what I'd do without this forum!! -
Well done @dawsonhull, looks fantastic. I'm probably old enough to be your father-in-law if you ever want to have me over!---------------------------------------------------------------------------------Well, "spa-Peggy" is kind of like spaghetti.

Man, the shrimp and scallops look fantastic!!Just a hack that makes some $hitty BBQ....

Here's a link to a great stuffed pork loin recipe-change it up as you like but always a winner.

Thanks guys! @lousubcap that looks great - adding it to my "to-cook" list.@TexanOfTheNorth Come on over! Good idea with the scallops!

I wish I'd seen this thread yesterday! I'm in almost the same boat. Father in law is visiting and I want to dazzle. These are all great ideas
