This section will have only appetizers that contain some kind of seafood or fish.

Bacon Wrapped Shrimp  This is so rich, that it could be the better part
of a whole meal.  It has a horseradish sauce that goes on top.  If you
feel like indulging, this is the recipe.

Cajun Kisses  These are jalapenos stuffed with cream cheese and shrimp, then
broiled wrapped in bacon.  Simply heaven.  A little work, but worth it. 

Coconut Shrimp  This appetizer has been made popular in many restaurants,
now you can make it at home and it has a spectacular dipping sauce.

Clams Casino  A vintage appetizer that never loses it's appeal.  They
are visually beautiful and always a welcome surprise.

Crab Cakes  This recipe includes a great citrus butter and a little salad
to rest the crab cakes atop.  A nice special occasion lunch or appetizer
for dinner.

Crab-Grapefruit Cocktail  This is an unusual cocktail that is a hit with
adults and makes a great starter for a nice dinner party.

Crab Rangoon  This recipe was originated by Trader Vic's, this is a
close variation of a crab and cream cheese filled wontons.

Crab Stuffed Mushrooms  A perennial favorite, good anytime.  I like this
before a barbecue.

Fried Calamari Oriental Style  If you like fried calamari, this recipe is
one for you.  Yours will be better than in restaurants.  If it's not your
favorite, try the sauce with purchased fried seafood.  It got raves from
everyone at my house.

Oyster Cheese Log   This is a recipe generously donated by Erin from
Minnesota.  She says even non-oyster lovers eat this one up.

Poached Scallops  As sophisticated as this recipe seems, it is fairly simple.
Oil poached scallops are topped with rosemary scented whipped cream.

Scallop Skewers with Melon Salsa  This elegant without being too
difficult.

Shrimp Puffs   Get lots of compliments for a fairly easy appetizer.

Shrimp Toast   This is a traditional recipe that is always a big hit,
although it takes a bit of work.

Shrimp with Pistachio Sauce Very Italian and different, the sauce is
a very zesty pesto and is a fabulous appetizer for entertaining.

Snow Pea Shrimp Nice light, flavorful appetizer.

Trader Vic's Cheese Balls  This blast from the past recipe is so good
you will be tempted to make it over and over again even though it is a
little work.  Shrimp and jalapenos are the secret.

Warm Watermelon Shrimp This spicy and unusual starter goes great with
a nice summer barbecue.
