Seafood Appetizer ideas...please

Starpolisher — Fri, 28 Dec 2018 16:27:58 GMT

Ds and ddil are coming for New Year's Eve along with my two sweet granddaughters. Ddil loves seafood so I'd like to have at least one seafood appetizer for her. We had shrimp cocktail appetizers at Christmas so don't want to do that again. So far we've got hot artichoke dip, little smokies wrapped in bacon with brown sugar or pigs in a blanket(not sure), deviled eggs and sausage stuffed peppers. I want something easy to make because I'm also cooking dinner. I also prefer it be a finger food, not a dip, since I've got one already. Was thinking of bacon wrapped scallops(?) Any ideas? TIA

@Starpolisher How about crab cakes and/or stuffed clams, or shrimp toast. Your idea of bacon wrapped scallops gets a "thumbs up" from me.

Call your local supermarket & order a fried shrimps, stuffed fried shrimps & scallop platter. Dips & what nots come w/the platter.

Unless your DIL isn't fond of scallops that sounds great. One of my favorite appetizers.

There is a hot shrimp dip that is delicious and easy to make. It was very popular a few years ago so there must be recipes on the web. It's made with canned mini shrimp, cream cheese and seasonings. It can be heated in the microwave. Served with chips or triscuits.

Happy New Year!

crab puffs.....will post the recipe a bit later when i have access to it.

it has been a recipe we have used for over 30 years.

pretty easy to make and can be frozen and just pulled out and baked when you need them.

@Starpolisher Love the idea of bacon-wrapped scallops. Especially when cooked under the broiler with the larger sea scallops and plenty of bacon.

I did a hot Cajun Shrimp dip which was the total hit of may last party- everyone loved it- found it on Pinterest- very EASY and few ingredients-

Another thing I made was those little filo tart shells stuffed with a mixture of crab, swiss cheese, green onions a dash of worcestershire and a little mayo or cream cheese to bind it al ltogether- bake till hot through, and top with some chopped toasted almonds

Can’t think of anything I would rather have on New Year’s than Salmon. I would make a smoked salmon platter like this one from “How Sweet Eats”. The ingredients can be found easily at your local supermarket and it is easy to assemble.

@Starpolisher, or anyone else planning to serve shrimp as part of their New Year celebrations, a "heads up!"

Shrimp recalled in 3 states

Kroger, including Fry's, King Soopers and Smith's grocery stores, has recalled "cooked" shrimp in Michigan, Ohio and Virginia. The shrimp is labeled as 'cooked' but is either under-cooked or raw, a potential health hazard. Packages bearing the following product codes should be returned for refunds:

Sand Bar Peeled / Cooked Shrimp 26/30 CPTO UPC 11110-64115
Shrimp Cooked, Tail-On 26/30 Frozen Service Case UPC 69439-XXXXX
Shrimp Grab & Go Service Case UPC 69447-XXXXX
Shrimp Cooked 26/30 Seasoned Service Case UPC 69472-XXXXX
Shrimp Cooked Tail-On 26/30 Frozen Service Case UPC 89439-XXXXX
Shrimp 26/30 Cooked Service Case UPC 89461-XXXXX

@Starpolisher I know you were looking for appetizer recipes that weren't dips but if you don't happen to find one, here is one that is easy to make and I think everyone may enjoy:

@Mz iMac

The platter sounds delicious! I think you live in the same area as my ds and ddil. Is the store you're talking about Wegmans? I'd be interested in getting one.

Our supermarket has all kinds of different Sushi platters

I love the idea of bacon wrapped scallops especially if they are wrapped with thick sliced bacon and it is baked till crisp, which is hard to do since we are talking scallops.

I like a shrimp salad done with just enough mayo to bring it together with fresh herbs or even a ranch packet.

I do love the idea of the little phyllo dough cups filled with crab, cream cheese and herbs! YUMMY!

Smoked oysters! You can even find them raised and packed in the USA on amazon! I'll bet you can get them shipped on time--not cheap but very good!

I sometimes put a dab more olive oil on them but they are excellent!

Hi Mz iMac, I went to my local Wegman's today and they don't offer the fried shrimp platter. I live an hour and 15 minutes away from the one near you. There's always a lot advertised in their Holiday magazine that they don't offer at this Wegmans. I did get the bacon wrapped scallops and the coconut shrimp skewers though!

Sorry didn’t see this sooner. I take a block of cream cheese. Dump a bottle of cocktail sauce over it and then put chopped cooked shrimp over that. Serve with crackers. So yummy.
