Recipe 1: Keys-Style Shrimp & Citrus Skillet (about 20 minutes)
Why it works here
A stovetop-friendly, one-pan dish with bright citrus and herbs—perfect for kitchens in Glunz suites and villas. Minimal cleanup keeps you beach-bound.
Ingredients (serves 2–4)
- 1 lb medium shrimp, peeled and deveined (fresh or thawed)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 bell pepper, sliced
- 1 small red onion, sliced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced (or 1 teaspoon garlic powder)
- Zest and juice of 1 lime (or lemon)
- 1 teaspoon paprika (smoked if you like)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh cilantro or parsley, chopped (optional)
- Cooked rice or crusty bread, for serving
Equipment
- Skillet, spatula, cutting board, knife; stovetop (in full kitchens) or portable cooktop if provided in your kitchenette.
Steps
- Pat shrimp dry; toss with paprika, a pinch of salt, and pepper.
- Heat oil in a skillet over medium. Sauté bell pepper and onion 3–4 minutes until crisp-tender; add garlic and cook 30 seconds.
- Push veg to the side, add shrimp in a single layer. Cook 1–2 minutes per side until opaque.
- Stir in lime zest and juice; season to taste. Finish with chopped herbs.
- Serve over rice or with bread to soak up the citrusy pan juices.
Make it "Keys"
- Add a splash of orange juice for a gentle sweetness.
- Toss in cherry tomatoes or a handful of spinach for extra color.
Beach pack tip
Cool slightly, then pack into reusable containers. It travels well for a picnic on the private beach.
Recipe 2: Beachside Grilled Fish Tacos (about 25 minutes)
Why it works here
Glunz provides on-site barbecue facilities, and utensils are supplied—so grilling is a breeze. Fresh, flaky fish tucked into warm tortillas tastes even better with an ocean view.
Ingredients (serves 4)
- 1½–2 lbs firm white fish (mahi, snapper, cod), patted dry
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon salt, plus more to taste
- 8–12 small corn or flour tortillas
- 2 cups shredded cabbage or slaw mix
- 1 avocado, sliced
- 1 lime, cut into wedges
- Your favorite salsa or a quick lime yogurt sauce (plain yogurt + lime juice + pinch of salt)
Equipment
- Resort grill and provided utensils; tongs; a clean tray or plate; foil (optional for delicate fillets).
Steps
- Preheat the grill; oil the grates lightly (or use a foil tray for delicate fish).
- Brush fish with olive oil; mix chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, and salt. Rub onto both sides.
- Grill 3–4 minutes per side, depending on thickness, until fish flakes easily.
- Warm tortillas on the grill 10–20 seconds per side.
- Flake fish; assemble tacos with cabbage, avocado, and salsa or lime yogurt sauce. Squeeze lime over the top.
Make it "Keys"
- Add quick-pickled onions (thinly sliced red onion + lime juice + pinch of salt, 10 minutes) for a bright, beachy bite.
Beach pack tip
Layer cabbage at the bottom of a container to keep tortillas from getting soggy; pack sauces separately.
Recipe 3: Microwave Mug Frittata Bowls (5–7 minutes)
Why it works here
Every Glunz room includes a microwave and refrigerator, and standard rooms also include a coffee maker—so a hot, protein-packed breakfast is always on the menu.
Ingredients (per mug)
- 2 eggs
- 2 tablespoons milk or water
- ¼ cup shredded cheese
- ¼ cup chopped veggies (e.g., bell pepper, spinach, tomato)
- Pinch of salt and pepper
- Optional: cooked bacon or ham, chopped
Equipment
- Microwave-safe mug, fork, measuring spoon.
Steps
- Lightly oil or spray the mug (optional). Whisk eggs and milk with a fork; season with salt and pepper.
- Stir in cheese, veggies, and optional cooked meat.
- Microwave 60–90 seconds. Stir; microwave another 30–60 seconds until set (microwaves vary).
- Top with a spoon of salsa or a squeeze of lemon/lime if you like.
Make it "Keys"
- Fold in diced tomato and a few drops of hot sauce for a sunny, coastal kick.
Beach pack tip
Make two; enjoy one hot and pack the other to chill as a protein snack for later.
