What to cook at beach while on vacation with teenagers?

Stuff you can scale in bulk for leftovers:

Jambalaya
Pasta salad
Bake/buy a ham

Smoke & pull pork shoulder before you go for sandwiches.

Does the place have a grill for burgers & dogs?

Smoke a pork butt to bring with you? You can cook it in the oven if you want to cook it while you're there.

Spiral sliced ham for sandwiches

Cases and cases of Boone's Farm or PBR.

We get the Kirkland lasagna and it’s very good and easy.

Boiled shrimp

Caribbean Jerk Chicken

Ingredients

1 tbs ground allspice
1tbs dried thyme
1 1/2 tsp cayenne pepper
1 1/2 tsp freshly ground black pepper
1 1/2 tbs salt
1 1/2 tsp ground sage
3/4 tsp ground nutmeg
3/4 tsp ground cinnamon
2 tbs garlic powder or fresh
1 tbs sugar
1/4 cup olive oil
1/4 cup soy sauce
3/4 cup white vinegar
1/2 cup orange juice (or pineapple)
1 lime juiced
1 scotch bonnet pepper (habanero)
3 green onions--finely chopped
1 cup onion---finely chopped
4-6 chicken breasts (you can use the whole chicken or which ever type you prefer)

I used an immersion blender instead of traditional and it worked really well. I also pounded the chicken breasts thin for more even cooking to 150 degrees internal. Nearly everyone overcooks their chicken going to 165 or more for white meat, don't fall into that trap. Once you cook chicken to 150, you will never go back. Make three times more than you need, it's perfect for leftovers.

Really good depth of flavor, 10/10.

We do this and also use some of the boiled shrimp to make shrimp salad for lunch and snacks.

Cook before the beach is how I usually roll. Red beans, meatball or chicken stew, taco soup, spaghetti. Things of that nature then I vac pac and freeze. Use that as ice in the ice chest. You can technically reheat it in the bag in a pot of almost boiling water. More time on the beach less time cooking in the condo.
