Appetizers to keep on a roll
 
1. Shrimp Cocktail
 
Putting together an elaborate dinner spread is definitely challenging. Sticking to the classics and dishes that are easy to knock up is a win. Shrimp cocktail certainly tops the charts of easy-to-cook appetizers. To prepare the snack, poach some fine-quality shrimps in a flavorful liquid of water, garlic, bay leaf, peppercorn, salt, and lemon. Do not skip popping in the Old Bay seasoning. It amps up the flavors of the poaching liquid by leaps and bounds.
 
Once the shrimp have curled up, opaque, and pretty pink, chuck the protein in a bowl crammed with ice. The only effort needed is to whip up a delicious cocktail sauce. Mix a bunch of sauces like Worcestershire, tomato ketchup, horseradish, and hot sauce with hints of chili and some seasoning. Whisk it well and chuck it in the fridge for around 30 minutes. Do not forget that a shrimp cocktail is a cold appetizer.
 
2. Bloody Mary Bombs
 
What’s a party without a gentle hit of booze? The ‘Bloody Mary Bombs’ are delightful finger food that steals the show. Tasty as hell and a cakewalk to prepare, do not miss adding this to your list of appetizers.
 
To prep the marination, whisk Worcestershire sauce, hot sauce, lemon, pepper, and a good shot of vodka well. Pop in some cut celery and tomatoes in the mix and let it drench in the sauce for a few hours. In a heated skillet, fry the bacon until crispy but pliable. Chop the bacon right. Pop the soaked tomatoes and celery with the bacon halves, and pickle in the skewers. You could also use cornichons. That’s it! The appetizer is ready for serving.
