Shrimp appetizer?!
Answers: I'm looking for a tasty shrimp appetizer for a party Sunday. Prefferably not cocktail
Make shrimp kabobs
Buy small skewers and put a cleaned, peeled shrimp, pineapple, green pepper or onion on each, spray with Pam, grill or bake, serve with Saucy Susan as dipping sauce or just plain. If plain, plate and squirt a little lemon over them.
p.s. if you don't want any party mis-haps, go with plain and a squirt of lemon juice on them.
Grilled pineapple is delicious and gets very sweet, so the combo is good. You could also add some cajun spices on the kabobs for those that like hot stuff!
Have a great party.

EASY SHRIMP APPETIZERS
1 tub soft cream cheese
1 bottle seafood cocktail sauce
1 can tiny cocktail shrimp
1 box Ritz crackers
Spread each cracker with cream cheese. Next, spread a layer of seafood cocktail sauce over the cream cheese. Top each cracker with 2 or 3 shrimp. Delicious.
An easy and attractive shortcut to fixing each cracker individually is to layer the cream cheese, sauce and shrimp directly onto an attractive serving tray (a round tray is best) and stand up the crackers around the edges. The cream cheese will hold them in place and guests can spread their own crackers.
Coconut shrimp are so easy!
Toss some shrimp in flour. Then dip them in beaten egg. You'll need to make a mix of coconut and plain bread crumbs. You want it to be mostly coconut, and just enough bread crumbs to hold it together. Roll the shrimp in the mixture. Then just drop them in hot oil. It only takes a few minutes to fry them up.
I bring these tons of places, and everyone has always loved them. So easy and yummy too!
