Warm weather and seafood go hand in hand. Whether you make a no-cook dish like bright and tangy ceviche or fire up the grill for marinated shrimp or perfectly charred salmon, seafood always feels light-yet-satisfying—which is perfect for hot, sunny days. You’ve got a lot of choices when it comes to grilled fish and seafood: family-favorite fish tacos, company-worthy seared scallops and more. So, how do you choose when there are so many delicious options? Work your way through this roundup, starting with a dish inspired by the flavors of a classic shrimp boil. We've included andouille, potatoes, corn, Old Bay and garlic—and upped the ante by simmering everything in an all-butter sauce. Serve family-style with toasted crusty bread for dipping so you don’t miss out on any of the delicious sauce.

Giada's lemon, mint and basil dressing is bright and refreshing — just the thing to dress up swordfish's meaty flavor.

These tender grilled mussels are served with a buttery white wine-and-garlic sauce and plenty of crusty grilled bread to mop up the delicious juices. The high heat of grilling leaves mussels particularly plump, and it just might be one of the easiest ways to cook them: There’s no need to pull out a big pot for steaming and cleanup is a breeze. We bumped up the sauce by using a whole head of garlic first softened in the microwave to cut the cooking time and then caramelized it right on the grill for natural sweetness and tons of umami. It’s a rich, satisfying dish bursting with flavor.

Mild tilapia and shrimp get a real kick from a marinade of lime juice and fresh herbs. A crisp, spicy cabbage slaw makes the perfect topper. Because tilapia fillets are thicker on one side than the other, they're hard to cook evenly. Try splitting them through the center seam so they can go on the grill separately.
