It’s Friday night, and you forgot you invited a few friends over. In a panic, you start to dial the phone to order a pepperoni pizza.

With only a few ingredients, these easy entertaining ideas can turn any night into a party. Make these six dishes your new go-tos for simple entertaining.
1. Spaghetti with Garlic-Shrimp & Broccoli
Next time you’re at the store, pick up a bag of large frozen peeled and deveined shrimp.

Just thaw shrimp in the fridge overnight or in cold water in the sink for about 20 minutes before cooking.
