Garlicky Lemon Shrimp and More Great Warm Weather Meals

Facebook readers share their best summer meal ideas.





When it's hot outside, the last thing you want to do is turn on a stove.

Well into July already, we asked readers on our Facebook page for their ideas for summer meals. Read their suggestions, then add your own in the comments:

Adrienne Hughes Barber: We love quick-cooked meals like garlicky lemon shrimp with noodles, spinach, tomato, and lime, quick seared thin steaks from the mercado for easy taco or burrito fillings, or bread, cheese, salami, and Farmer's Market fruits.

Ceri Hitchcock-Hodgson: Throw it in the crackpot: no oven or stove. Tonight, we're having ribs

Allysson McDonald: Last night I made pesto a put it on tortellini and served it with salad - minimal cooking!

Allysson McDonald: And tonight crock pot chole (chickpea and tomato curry) with rice
