Lemongrass and Garlic Shrimp

Shrimp is a great grilling option because it’s lean (that means less likelihood of flare-ups that cause burning or charring) and also because it cooks so quickly.

Savory Pork Ragù With Pappardelle

Country-style pork ribs typically come from the shoulder (not the ribs). They’re boneless and easy to buy in small amounts—unlike a pork shoulder roast (Boston butt)—so they’re a great option for recipes that don’t use a lot of meat.
