The Instant Pot makes it possible to have hearty hot meals, like this taco soup, without heating up the house. But, even if you don't have an Instant Pot, the stove top method is pretty quick and still a great option. Let me know in the comments if you like these kinds of recipes this time of year, or not.

This Old Bay shrimp boil recipe cooks in a single pot and feeds eight people, making it the perfect summer meal to feed a crowd. This classic southern recipe is a coastal tradition that creates a range of complementary flavors and textures. The sweet corn is juicy and crispy, while the potatoes are tender and creamy. The snappy finish of the spicy, smoky sausage contrasts the springy texture of the subtle-flavored shrimp. Pile it high on a serving platter, and watch it disappear before your eyes.

Butterfly shrimp sound fancy—like the type of appetizer you’d get at an elegant seafood restaurant. But the term butterflying isn’t fancy at all: It simply refers to slicing meat, poultry or seafood until it’s almost cut in half, creating a thinner piece with double the surface area. For fried butterfly shrimp, that means double the crispy, crunchy breading—making this one of those seafood appetizers that will definitely steal the spotlight.

According to Shakey's website, this pizza parlor is only in California, North Carolina, and Washington state in the U.S. now. This was my family's go-to pizza joint when my father was stationed with the Air Force outside of Omaha, Nebraska. We liked it so much, that when we were transferred again, it was hopeful we'd find another one.

For me, the best part of cookies and cream ice cream is the texture. I love it when my ice cream disperses big pieces of buried treasure-like mix-ins throughout, but there’s still flavor in every millimeter so you’re not just digging through inches of vanilla ice cream for the good stuff.

Cooling cucumber juice adds a fresh finish to an already refreshing summer quencher. Cucumbers make a fantastic addition to tequila drinks like cucumber margaritas. Their natural sweetness balances the tequila’s sharpness and their fresh, vegetal flavor brings out the spirit’s citrusy, grassy undertones. You don’t need any added sugar to make this cocktail taste great: just tequila, Triple Sec, limes and cucumbers (plus ice for the cocktail glass).

It’s hard to resist the hot pink beauty of fresh raspberries when they’re in season. Tart, intensely fruity and even subtly floral, raspberry’s unique flavor shouldn’t be masked under a ton of heavy ingredients. That’s why we love baking these berries in our raspberry crumble.
