Thanksgiving dinners are traditionally oven-baked turkey, oven-baked sweet potatoes with the gooey marshmallow topping, and oven-baked corn casseroles with a side of buttery biscuits. But what if you’re camping during the holidays? Does that mean you have to forego a full meal? We’ve got some great recipes that will fill your camp table with a meal fit for any Thanksgiving festivities.
Surf & Turf (serves 4) (recipe from delish.com)
Ingredients:
½ pound sirloin steak, cut into 1-inch cubes
½ pound shrimp, cleaned and deveined
2 ears corn, each cut crosswise into 4 pieces
1 cup grape tomatoes

2 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
1 tablespoon Old Bay Seasoning
1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
1 teaspoon cumin
Freshly cracked black pepper
Instructions:
- Preheat grill over high heat. Cut 4 sheets of foil, each about 12 inches long.
- Divide steak, shrimp, corn, tomatoes, red onion, lime wedges, and garlic between each foil pack. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with Old Bay, fresh thyme, cumin, and black pepper.
