Lots of heavy grill work, marinades, spice rubs, lots of heat, which I like. Give me a hot fire any day. There is something so primal and intense for me about fire. I crave it. I want it around me all the time.

Been doing a really simple but good marinade for grilled shrimp and flank steak. Easy, to a quart and a 1/2 of Oil, add roughly, 2 cups of chopped parsley, 12 garlic cloves, 1/2 cup rosemary, 1/4 cup fresh thyme, 1/4 cup Kosher or sea salt, 1/4 cup fresh ground black pepper. Fresh herbs only. Use blender or immersion blender, and blend for 2 mins. Toss shrimp in marinade and let sit for one hour. Then grill.

Flank steak, coat in marinade and let sit for one hour minimum or overnight. Grill. Charcoal grilling is my first choice, add some soaked wood (apple, mesquite, oak) for flavor. Get creative. Make it your own as I always say!

I feel the same way about fire, I start to feel that craving under my skin and I need to break out the grill or maybe dance around the flames in a non harmful way LOL
