Shrimp corn dogs. I just posted the recipe recently. If you can't find it, let me know.

Crabmeat or shrimp layered dip (see recipe book)

Shrimp and andouille mini muffins (see recipe book or let me know if you can't find them)

Order some mini meat pies from Lasyone's and fry 'em up. People will love them.

Mini muffalattas

Those ham sandwiches you make with the Hawaiian rolls. I can find that recipe if you're interested. They always go quickly.

mini muffulettas or even just muffuletta mix type dip to go along with the crawfish dip. you can make french bread crostinis for both. can you get smoked boudin or andouille sausage? cook some on the grill. or do some shrimp kabobs and a big pot of creamy grits with a little bit of spices in it.

maybe make some pralines for dessert (that can be done well in advance)

Meatballs are always a hit.
Little ham sandwiches in Hawaiian rolls like Gris mentioned.
If you want to make a huge splash, order yourself a large Chick Fil A nugget tray with a quart of Polynesian sauce.

Boudin dip always disappears.

Single batch:
2 lbs boudin
1 can cream of mushroom
1 can cream of celery
1 pack dry onion soup mix

Mix and heat in crockpot. Fine on chips, better on Ritz.

Get frozen meatballs in a slowcooker with BBQ sauce and grape jelly, cook for a few hours. Easy and tasty.

Also Corn Maque Choux is easy and tasty.

Spicy cheese straws or cheese cookies if you don't want to make the straw shape.

Mini roast beef poboys. Just make the whole thing and then cut them into "pick up" size.

Spicy deviled eggs.
