Although parades, band concerts, and fireworks all
define July 4th, it’s the food that many of us anticipate most.
Whether special burgers, smoked ribs, barbecued chicken, corn on the cob
slathered with seasoned butter, spicy baked beans, or fresh strawberry
shortcakes, a big spread is the way everyone loves to celebrate America’s
birthday. Typically, cooks focus on the entrees, sides, and sweets, but
starters are important too. You don’t have to resort to a bowl of chips served
with a purchased dip when you can make Grilled Shrimp with Cumin Mayo in only a
matter of minutes.
