Meat

The great thing about the Paleo diet is that you can eat all kinds of meat (as long as it's grass fed). Pork, beef, chicken, ostrich or lamb; the options are endless. You could just put a steak or chicken breast and grill it and although that would be delicious itself, you may want to marinade your meat to give it some extra flavor.

To give you some barbeque meat inspiration: how about some dry rubbed barbeque pork ribs or grilled chicken wings with maple barbeque sauce. Or what do you think of this mediterranean marinated New York sirloin or, as shown in the below video, bacon beef burgers.

Fish and other seafood

Serves: 2
Prep Time: 5 minutes
Total Time: 10 minutes

Due to its high Omega 3 values fish and other seafood is highly regarded in the Paleo world. And as with meat, the options for fish and other seafood are endless of both fresh and salt water species.

To give you some ideas for barbeque fish dishes: how about this tasty grilled trout recipe or the easy recipe below for grilled garlic shrimp.

Ingredients

12 jumbo shrimp (peeled and gutted)
2 tbsp of olive oil
1 tbsp of garlic powder
1 lemon

Instructions

In small bowl mix 2 tablespoons of olive oil with 1 tablespoon of garlic powder. Put 3 jumbo shrimp on wooden spear (4 spears). Brush shrimp with the olive oil and garlic powder mixture. Grill on barbeque until pink. Put on plate and sprinkle with lemon juice.

Grilled vegetables

As a another side dish to the meat and fish, grilling vegetables is a tasty option. Of course you can eat most vegetables raw, but by grilling them you can add some smoked flavor.

In the below video you can see how you can grill all kinds of vegetables with a simple addition of herbs.

To add some more flavor to your barbeque dishes you can make your own Paleo condiments. Over at the Paleo Diet Lifestyle blog there's an entire article on all kinds of condiments such as ketchup, horshradish, barbeque and worchester sauce.

There are also some condiment recipes from the Best Paleo Chicken Salad lens such as mayo, salsa, guacamole and sateh sauce.
