Shrimp were made to be grilled. The shellfish are incredibly fast-cooking, making them ideal for high-heat searing. Plus, the grill's smoky flavor and kiss of char work wonders on their flavor and texture. Shrimp have a mild oceanic sweetness that functions as a marvelous blank canvas, so you'll want to use a potent marinade, like simple, lemony salmoriglio (which is also great with steak), to bring some pizzazz to the dish. To help you get the most from your marination, Chowhound asked Jonathan Bautista, executive chef of Ember & Rye restaurant at the Park Hyatt Aviara in Carlsbad, California, for his advice on grilling shrimp.

When I was growing up, egg salad was for road trips. My mother was an excellent cook, and knew how to save time and money when preparing meals. So when it came time to drive across the state to visit grandma and grandpa in Iowa, egg salad sandwiches were packed. I still feel the warm air whooshing in the open window of the old Chevy as I bite into a creamy egg salad sandwich.

This is my grandmaw's version of potato salad. I have grew up eating this side dish for years and it is so delicious. One of my favorite ways of eating it is with BBQ baby back ribs that have been smoked on the smoker, mac & cheese and a nice dinner roll to go on the side. Also do not forget to add that delicious glass of ice cold sweet tea. Is your mouth watering yet?

Softened or "room temperature" butter is an essential ingredient in baking, typically creamed with sugar as the first step in making cakes, slices, muffins, and cookies. It's also a crucial element in creating deliciously fluffy buttercream frosting. But as any home baker will know, transforming a rock hard block of butter into something more squidgy is easier said than done. Soften the butter too little, and it won't blend with the sugar, ultimately creating dense and heavy bakes. Soften it too much, on the other hand, and it will give you a greasy, loose batter with a flat, soggy result.

Mary Berry's Go-To Technique To Soften Butter Quickly

If you're looking to switch up your grilled meats (there are only so many burgers and hot dogs one can eat in a summer), try grilling some scrumptious seafood. Grilled seafood has a tremendous charred flavor that just can't be achieved by boiling or baking. Those who are new to grilling seafood might find it a little daunting to cook fish perfectly without it flaking off into the grill or becoming dry and overcooked. For this reason, beginners might want to start with an easier seafood to grill like shrimp, according to a professional chef.

When you and your kids are sitting under the golden arches at the local McDonald's Playland, just know this: You're one of the reasons that America's favorite fast food chain can brag that it has sold more than a billion hamburgers. Yes, that's a billion with a "B." And it's very likely that the famous worldwide burger joint has sold many more burgers than that, given that a) McDonald's sold about 75 burgers a second globally in 2021 (per Investing.com) and b) there are 86,400 seconds in a day. To figure out how that per-second number was reached, you have to do a bit of math. Investing.com reported that Mickey D's sells 6.48 million burgers per day. To get the per-second count, you have to divide 6.48 million by 86,400 seconds to get 75 burgers a second.

Here's How Many Hamburgers Mcdonald's Sells In One Second

Pizza is easily one of the reigning champs of leftovers since forever; easy to grab the next day and enjoy cold straight out of the fridge (as some may prefer), or popped in the microwave to get warmed back up. But for those who argue that warm is better and routinely gravitate toward the microwave as their method of choice, there's a better way — and it's sitting right on your countertop.

In the mid-1970s, Good Timesmade a star of actor/comedian Jimmy 'JJ'/'Dynomite' Walker. However, behind the scenes, the tension between the stars was relatively challenging. According to what Jimmie Walker once relayed, most of the show's cast rarely had any interaction behind the camera. Walker didn't recall having any conversations with actress Esther Rolle, who played his TV mother, Florida Evans, or actor John Amos, who played James Evans, his TV mother.

Rice is one of the most universal culinary cornerstones, consumed by well over 3 billion people every day.

Along with fruit, berries have enjoyed great appeal with the folks of Appalachia. For starters, they had a profusion of wild berries—strawberries, raspberries, dewberries, blackberries, elderberries, huckleberries, blueberries, and others–available for the picking. All it took was gumption and a bucket. The former was in plentiful supply in a society where a staunch work ethic was almost a religion while an old lard tin or a homemade birch bark receptacle served quite nicely as a container. Some folks included tame berry patches as an adjunct to gardens as well, although this was not particularly common with the exception of strawberries and to a somewhat lesser degree, blueberries and raspberries. Today that has changed dramatically, and home gardeners often raise a variety of berries, with thornless blackberries joining blueberries as being particularly popular. In yesteryear, gathering and canning berries was widely practiced and they contributed variety to diet when eaten fresh, prepared as a side dish, or used in desserts.

Oxtail is one of the most delicious cuts of beef, offering a rich, savory flavor on par with short ribs, but at a more affordable price. It also happens to be one of the most underrated cuts of beef. This is partly due to the fact that it's difficult to find oxtail at supermarkets and butcher shops, largely because each cow yields very little of it. Unfortunately, oxtail also suffers from its reputation as a tough cut riddled with chewy connective tissue. This isn't nearly as big of an issue as some might think, though. To prove it, Chowhound sought advice from James Beard Award-winning chef Kwame Onwuachi, who is hosting a block party with Guinness on August 24 in Williamsburg, Brooklyn's Domino Park.

Some like it smothered in a robust Bolognese or tossed with a simple fresh tomato sauce. Others like it swirled in a creamy spinach sauce or mixed with pungent garlic and anchovies. However you like it best, there’s no denying that pasta is one of the most popular dinner choices. And for good reason. It’s fast, simple and delicious and just about everyone loves it. But have you ever noticed that pasta at a restaurant just tastes better than homemade? Well, there’s a reason for that, and it’s not necessarily that chefs are adding more salt or fat. In fact, there are simple techniques (and a little culinary know-how) that can help you replicate restaurant-quality pasta at home.
