Since little shrimps grill, sauté, or boil in 2 to 3 minutes flat, dinner can be ready in minutes, not hours. So keep a bag of frozen shrimp in your freezer for moment's-notice dinners all summer long. There's sunshine to soak up, and ice cream to scoop.
Here are 15 breezy shrimp dinners that will come together in 45 minutes (or less—or more, depending on how distracted you get by the prospect of ice cream):
How do you whip shrimp into dinner? Give us some good ideas in the comments.

Sautéed Shrimp with Lemon, Garlic, and Parsley is one of my favorite dinners every! Mainly because it swims in butter, as shrimp like to do.

(I suspect it was not because Food52 has not photographed it. What a shame.)
It takes longer to peel the shrimp than it does to prepare the entire dish. Counting the time it takes me to peel a pound of already deveined shrimp, I can easily put this together in under a half an hour. (I usually peel ahead of time - the morning of - so that I can make the side + salad and keep the entire dinner prep time at about 30 minutes. )
I serve it over Israeli couscous or orzo, though I recently made Tartine Bakery baguettes, which would be perfect instead.
I use Cold Sauce for the tomato sauce during the summer. http://food52.com/not-recipes... Link to recipe here: https://food52.com/recipes...
Editors, may I respectfully suggest that Cold Sauce deserves more play here, too. ;o)

Actually, I was thinking something more along the lines of, "15 Ways to Use Cold Sauce This Summer'. It might require a bit more work than your standard aggregation piece, but would provide great value to many users, so the effort may well be worth it. ;o)
