Do you have a special dish you prepare for holiday gatherings not at your home?
I have two that are always requested by my family but both need to be finished at that relatives home. That’s really never a problem because the final steps of our holiday meals are always a team effort.
The first is a baked stuffed shrimp appetizer, I kick it up a level with adding a sliced sea scollop to the split shrimp before adding the stuffing, I also make my own cocktail sauce for this.
The second would be a satay dipping platter as an appetizer ( thin sliced beef, chicken and shrimp on bamboo skewers). If a BBQ grill is available this always goes over well. I make the traditional peanut dipping sauce but also make a sweet chili red sauce for dipping.
What dish do you bring?
I've made these things for like 30 years. The filling is sour cream, cream cheese, chives and bacon bits. Spread across the ham, rolled up and sliced in bite-sized pieces.
Amazing.
Depends on the holiday, but for Thanksgiving I have a great recipe for a Pumpkin Roll, and sometimes make Cranberry Meatballs for an appetizer. Shrimp with a nice dipping sauce is always good too.
Umm, getting hungry already.
Cranberry meatballs sounds good.
