Here’s one thing I know: It’s almost August already, and I still have a lot of summer meals I want to make. I love summer because it’s a time where meals should be simple, fun, and easy. Nothing complicated or over-thought. And I always find summer comes and goes too soon. For instance, I’ve got a lot of other menus and recipes to post here. Full of tomatoes, and sangria, and pulled pork – things you need to see before summer is over.
Let’s start with putting this summer meal into a menu. I’m sure it wouldn’t have been hard for you to figure it out on your own, but I just love putting it together for you anyway.
Easy-Breezy Summer Shrimp Boil Menu
{to drink: mango margaritas with chili salt}

{to start: green salad with avocado-basil dressing}

{the main event: beer shrimp boil}

{on the side: lemony artichokes au gratin}
{finish it off: blackberry pie bars - or for something lighter, homemade strawberry sorbet made from pureéd frozen strawberries and a squeeze of lime}
