I had langoustines for the first time on a trip to the coast of Maine, and I couldn’t believe how delicate and sweet they were. We ate them with melted butter and lemon, right on the dock. Ever since, I’ve grilled them at home when I want something simple but stunning — they’re easier to make than t...

I first made these skewers on a whim when I had shrimp and half a pineapple sitting in the fridge. I added a quick marinade, tossed everything on the grill — and oh wow. The shrimp got smoky and juicy, and the pineapple caramelized into sweet perfection. Now they’re one of my favorite summer meals w...

I first had mussels grilled over an open flame at a beach cookout — just mussels, garlic, butter, and a few slices of crusty bread. It felt so rustic and so right. Now, I grill them on my back porch anytime I want something simple that still feels like a treat. These are my go-to when I want a fun s...

Crab cakes always felt like something you’d order at a beachside café with a view of the water. But once I figured out how to grill them at home instead of pan-frying, I was hooked.

Oysters used to intimidate me — I thought they were only for raw-bar experts. But when I had grilled oysters topped with garlic butter and Parmesan at a friend’s backyard party, I was hooked.

The first time I made lobster at home, I was honestly a little scared. It felt like something only chefs should be touching.

The first time I had grilled clams was on a beach trip in Charleston. There was a fire pit, some crusty bread, and this buttery white wine sauce that made you want to soak up every drop.

Shrimp used to be one of those “special occasion” things I only ordered at restaurants.
