Peel-and-Eat Boiled Shrimp with Cocktail Sauce

One of my family's favorite summer pastimes is eating at ramshackle seafood shacks, where we sit around brown paper-covered picnic tables and feast on peel-and-eat boiled shrimp. Even better is recreating this experience at home in the backyard.

Boiled shrimp are not only quick and easy to make but also so much fun to eat. My favorite way to prepare them is Maryland-style: simmered in beer and Old Bay seasoning with homemade cocktail sauce on the side. You'll be amazed by how much cooking shrimp in the shell maximizes flavor and helps retain moisture (it's also less work for the cook!).

Coconut Cream Pie

My husband's all-time favorite dessert is the signature coconut cream pie served at The Capital Grille in Washington, DC. I wanted to bake it at home, so, on a long shot, I emailed the manager and asked for the recipe. I was thrilled – he sent it to me! Like most restaurant recipes, the quantities were huge so I had to fiddle with it a bit, and the crust was mysteriously missing so I had to improvise. But the results were spectacular: a coconut-scented cookie crust filled with creamy coconut custard, pillowy whipped cream, and heaps of toasted coconut. This pie is downright dreamy.

"This recipe was AMAZING. First time I didn't have to wring out the zucchini, and it made for such a wonderful moist bread! I brought it to my office and there was nothing but crumbs by the end of the day. Many thanks!" —MEGAN
