Warmer weather is here, and that means long, busy days and summer nights spent outside. All this time engaging in outdoor activities leaves less time for cooking, so we’ve rounded up some of our favorite summertime dinners that can be made in less than an hour. (Turning on your oven is definitely not required.)

Cajun Shrimp and Rice

Use up leftover rice from last night’s dinner or takeout to make this healthy dinner from Food Network Magazine.
