Need appetizer/finger food idea

I once made a huge muffaletta sandwich and cut it into appetizer sized pieces. Big hit!

Go to Whole Foods, Fresh Market, or an Italian grocer. Build a charcuterie. Meats, stinky cheeses, stuffed olive, and so on.

Blue cheese stuffed, bacon wrapped dates. Always killer. If not blue cheese then Marcona almonds

This is a work function. Do not do "sticky." Go to Sam's, buy a meats sampler (salami, etc.) Buy a block of Manchego or Irish Cheddar, slice it into thin planks. Put on a disposable platter with the seasoned olive blend that is also available at Sam's. Buy 200 toothpicks.

I second this.

Go to mathernes

Go to Sam's or Walmart, or Kroger, etc. and buy a bag of those frozen meatballs. Make an alfredo sauce, red sauce, or whatever gravy you like and serve with toothpicks.

How many people/servings do you need? Pasta salad is always a hit. I made some for the 4th with English cucumbers, tomato, onion and feta cheese, and black olives. Might be too close to caprese, but you can make it creamy instead of Italian dressing.

You got more suggestions on where to go than what to bring.

Go to the sticky above and click on the F&D Recipe Collection. Lots of good stuff in there.

Under appetizers, look at crabmeat or shrimp layered dip. Always a hit and goes fast. You could use crawfish as well.

Under crawfish, look at crawfish cardinale. Serve warm in a chafing dish or small crockpot. People gather around it. You can also serve it in phyllo cups from the freezer section of your store. However, crisp those up a bit in the oven. They are a bit doughy, but crisping them works great.

Look up Darla's Shrimp Mold in the cookbook under Shrimp. Old fashioned recipe that people love when it's revived.

For cocktail parties, we put shrimp and grits in martini glasses for folks to pick up or we pass them

Toss cooked shrimp in a good remoulade sauce served on a bed of lettuce with toothpicks.

People love deviled eggs. Make a variety of the standard deviled eggs and some with varying ingredients. There are plenty of recipes online for different versions.
