Florida or Cuban-American appetizer, perhaps something with shrimp and or citrus? Thanks for your help.

Tomorrow we have our themed monthly family dinner: "Florida" this month. Main dish will be Cuban sandwiches with sliced pork & ham. Sides are a citrus slaw & a fruit plate. Dessert is a frozen key lime pie (plus a chocolate cake for a young birthday girl). I forgot I'd signed up to do an appetizer, and was reminded today! SOS.

I'm a good cook, but not very good at deep frying. Dish must be prepped/cooked at my home, and travel only a 10 min drive.

Criteria: - Goes well/ok with wine and/or beer

  • Light in Flavors (ok if calorie-rich)

  • Not a cheese plate (we do that too often)

  • Not a salsa & chips

  • Not guac (we do that all the time)

  • Not pork (main is pork-heavy)

  • Room temp or oven warmed ok

  • Shrimp might be nice

  • Not bread-heavy? (main is a sandwich)

  • Bit time intensive prep/bake ok

  • Expenisive/"exotic" ingredients ok

  • Adventurous/Fusion ok

Thanks again :-)



bon appetit
