Incredibly Simple and Good Apps

Goat Cheese, Pesto, and Sun Dried Tomato Torta

Goat Cheese and Roast Beef Crostini

Scallops Wrapped in Bacon

Wrap Sea Scallops with 1/2 slice of bacon.  Broil for 4 to 5 minutes until the scallop is just turning white and the bacon is crisp.

Shrimp Le Jon

  • Fresh Shrimp
  • Fresh Horseradish
  • Local Bacon

Peel and de-vein Raw Shrimp leaving the tail on.  Slit the shrimp down the vein, but not all the way through.  Stuff with 1 t of horseradish.  Wrap with 1/2 slice of bacon. 

Broil 6" from the broiler for 4 to 5 minutes or just until the shrimp is pink and the bacon crisp.

I serve this with a modified cocktail sauce - I ass a little mayonnaise to the cocktail sauce to mellow it out.

Here's a variation that Larry Faillace invented:  instead of adding horseradish, add goat's cheese and proceed as described above.
