6 Bold, Spicy Dinners from Around the World

Kung pao chicken stir-fry, beef vindaloo, pork tinga tostadas, shrimp fra diavolo, seared sesame tuna rice bowls, and a butternut squash and sage risotto — six dinners built around rice, grains, and bold spice, with one combined shopping list.

🧊 Before you shop: pick which 3 dinners you'll make first — ideally starting with the most perishable proteins (seafood, then ground meat), saving heartier ones like chicken thighs or a roast for later. Freeze the proteins for your back-half dinners the same day you shop; thaw each one in the fridge the night before you plan to cook it. Don't let a week's worth of raw meat just sit in the fridge hoping you'll get to it in time.
