[quote=Anonymous]Night 1: Grill a big firm white fish.  Like mahi mahi.  All you need is salt, pepper, and fresh lemon.  
Night 2: Fish tacos.  
1.  Re-warm the leftover fish and cut up in chunks.  Dust with chili powder.  (I like regular mild grocery store chili powder; go hotter if you like.)  
2.  Heat up fresh corn tortillas (the soft kind--the ones on the end of the aisle in the grocery store, not refrigerated, are best).  You can warm them in a dry skillet, the oven, a steamer (briefly), or the microwave.  Whatever.  
3.  Shred some cabbage.  If you want, toss it with oil & vinegar (3 parts vinegar to one part oil).  Or just leave it raw.
4.  Make a spicy mayo.  To spice your mayo you can use hot chili powder, hot sauce, sriracha, or the sauce from a can of chipotles in adobo sauce (be careful--not too much).

Both of these go really well with corn on the cob and lots of beer/wine.

Shrimp boil

You'll need the following.  The quantities are just guesstimates.  Usually we just throw a ton of food into the pot in roughly even quantities and it all works out.

a really big pot
a colander, strainer, or slotted spoon
potatoes: .5 to 1 lb. per person
corn on the cob 1.5 ears per person
hot sausage (hot italian or chorizo) .25 to .5 lb. per person
FRESH shrimp .5 to 1 lb. per person.  At least medium size but preferably large or jumbo.  
beer
newspaper
tons o' paper towels

1.  Fill the pot about 1/3 way with water.  Pour in a couple of beers.
2.  Bring to boil.  If you have a couple of bay leaves, throw them in, if not, don't worry.  
3.  Wash and scrub the potatoes, cut into large chunks, and toss in.  
4.  Cut the sausage into 3-4" pieces.  (For average big sausage links, halves or thirds.)  When the potatoes START to get soft (10-12 min., I'm guessing, but check with a fork), toss in the sausage.  
5.  Break the corn cobs into halves or thirds.  When the sausage has been going about 7-8 min., toss in the corn.  
6.  Rinse the shrimp.  Don't de-vein unless you're a fanatic about that kind of thing.  Leave the shells on.  When the corn looks almost ready (when it's been in maybe 5-6 min.), call "DINNER" and toss in the shrimp.  
7.  The shrimp should only take 2-4 minutes.  When they're bright pink they're ready.  You don't want to overcook them, they'll get tough.  
8.  Serve on a table covered in newspaper, with lots of paper towels.  Some people like individual bowls, some like common table bowls, some just throw it on the table.

The hot sausage should pleasantly flavor the whole mix, but not result in a really spicy dish.  If people like it hot, have hot sauce available.

9.  Enjoy with lots of beer.
