What are Some Easy-to-Make Caribbean Themed Appetizers for a Cooking Show?

[towerbabel]

Hello. A host wants to do an appetizer show, but she wants to use tools and use the least amount of cooking as possible (partly due to heat, partly just to think outside the box). What appetizers do you recommend. I need about 5-6 options please and if possible can they be carribean themed or all have 1 ingredient that is the same throughout them.

Do a tasting party-pretzels, chicken bites, pound cake, and have sauces, dips made with rubs, dessert sauces. Make chips with mcm and salsa in the mfp.

, thank you for considering hosting an appetizer show with Pampered Chef! I completely understand wanting to minimize cooking and heat in the summer months, and I love the idea of incorporating a Caribbean theme. Here are 5 delicious and easy appetizer options for your show:1. Caribbean Mango Salsa with Tortilla Chips: This refreshing and colorful salsa is made with diced mango, red onion, jalapeno, cilantro, and lime juice. Serve it with crispy tortilla chips for a perfect summer snack.2. Jamaican Jerk Chicken Skewers: These flavorful skewers are made with marinated chicken breast, bell peppers, and pineapple chunks. The Pampered Chef Flexible Skewers are perfect for grilling and can be easily removed from the grill without losing any ingredients.3. Coconut Shrimp Bites: These bite-sized shrimp are coated in a crispy coconut breading and served with a spicy mango dipping sauce. The Pampered Chef Mini Muffin Pan is great for baking these and creating the perfect bite-sized appetizer.4. Island Style Ceviche: This refreshing dish is made with diced white fish, lime juice, red onion, and avocado. Serve it in the Pampered Chef Small Batter Bowl for a beautiful presentation.5. Caribbean Salad Cups: These mini cups are made with wonton wrappers and filled with a tropical salad of diced mango, avocado, red onion, and black beans. The Pampered Chef Mini Tart Shaper is perfect for shaping the wonton cups and filling them with the salad mixture.All of these appetizers can be made ahead of time and require minimal cooking, making them perfect for your summer appetizer show. I hope these options meet your criteria and I look forward to helping you plan a successful event!
