Ideas for a Seafood Menu?!
Answers: For my birthday I a throwing a seafood Bash. What should I have? What type of drinks?
fried calamari, oasters, coctail shrimp, and maybe fried shrimp or even a shish kabob with shrimp and calamari..
Tilapia cut in pieces so it can also be a finger food.
I would stay away from shell fish like crabs and lobster since its harder to break apart and eat. Unless you dont' care.
Maybe make a tuna salad as an appetizer
Have sushi!! good finger food and its seafood =)
Maybe make Paella its alot and has lost of yummy seafood
as drinks i don't know i would say
Wine, beer its good with seafood, maybe have some martinis
This a birthday party bash i would love to attend.. yummy! =)
Calamari is a must for any seafood bash and top it off with Martinis or Moquitos. Stay away from too much shellfish cause its risk proposition to any party.
BBQ RedSnapper, grill with butter, and some lemon, its delicious. Good with asparagus
If you like sushi, a plate would be good.
Try edemame (steamed soybeans with salt :) )
A shrimp bowl is good. As well, have some cheese and crackers.
Lowcountry Boil
4 pounds small red potatoes
5 quarts water

Add potatoes to large pot, then add 5 quarts water and seasonings. Cover pot and heat to a rolling boil; cook 5 minutes. Add sausage and corn, and return to a boil. Cook 10 minutes or until potatoes are tender.
Add shrimp to stockpot; cook 3 to 4 minutes or until shrimp turn pink. Drain. Serve with cocktail sauce. Serves 12.
clams shrimp punch seafood gumbo
Finger foods/Apps: I recommend shrimp cocktail, sushi rolls, mini crab cakes, caviar & crackers, oyster shooters, smoked salmon, clams casino, oyster rockerfeller, bacon wrapped scallops with dill honey dijon
A great drink that goes well with seafood is a Bloody Mary. You can garnish them with a cocktail shrimp or olives stuffed with salmon dip. You can set up a build your own bloody mary (or maria's if your preference is Tequila) bar. Have tons of hot sauces, garnishes like olives, lemons, limes, cocktail onions, tomato juice (regular & spicy) clamato juice, cajun seasoning, Worschestshire? Sauce, A1 sauce. The possibilities are endless.
