Quick and tasty shrimp hors d'oeuvres
Looking for ideas. I could do a shrimp cocktail but am looking for something a bit more interesting (but not super complicated. Throwing my mom a 60th and we're aiming for a good shrimp recipe. So far the rest of the menu is:
Cocktail hot dogs
Swedish meatballs
Crabbies (crab, cheese, english muffin)
Baked Brie in puff pastry
Baked Vidalia Onion & Pepperoni Dip
Crudite w/ dip
Cake
We may swap up depending on how many RSVPs we get but we are hoping to have a good mix of items that are both tasty and pretty easy to make and keep up with.
Re: Quick and tasty shrimp hors d'oeuvres
I think that you desperately need some color in there, so maybe one of these.
Bloody Mary Soup Shots with Shrimp and Pickled Vegetables
Spicy Shrimp Remoulade on Molasses Buttered Toasts
This one is easy. I do vairations depending.
Place wonton wrappers in muffin tins and bake @ 350 till the tips start to turn golden brown.
Then you mix a shrimp paste to your liking and use that as the filling.
I do cooked shrimp with mayo, mustard, seasonings to your taste, a bit of salad dressing, onions, seasoned breadcrumbs and use that as the filling. Sometimes I also add grated cheese for a cheesy filling. garnish with parsley or chives.
I found this recipe off of another nestie's blog and thought it sounded delicious!

Buffalo Shrimp
Ingredients:
20 jumbo shrimp, peeled and deveined
1 egg
1/2 cup of flour
1/2 cup of panko
1/3 cup of Frank's buffalo sauce (or similar)
salt & pepper
Directions:
1- Pat dry the shrimp. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
2- Dip first in flour, egg, and then panko. Repeat until all shrimp are coated.
3- At this point you have a choice to bake or fry the shrimp. If you bake them preheat the oven to 425 and bake until cooked through and crisp on the outside. If you choose to fry them heat some vegetable oil in a nonstick skillet until the oil "speaks" to you. Put the shrimp in the oil and flip after 3 minutes or so, when golden brown. Repeat for this side.
4- Remove cooked shrimp to a shallow dish. Coat with buffalo sauce and toss until evenly coated.
