Munchable Marinated Shrimp
Recipe: Munchable Marinated Shrimp
These spicy, do-ahead goodies could be either the centerpiece of a party spread or a supporting player. Serve them on salad greens that you have tossed with vinaigrette—and a little feta cheese sprinkled on top wouldn’t hurt, either. Toothpicks will make it easy to spear the shrimp.

Revved-Up Onion Dip
By Debbie Moose
Recipe: Revved-Up Onion Dip
I took this dip to a party to watch the Daytona 500, and it got the green flag! It’s my version of the classic onion dip, with fresher flavors and less salt. Add more horseradish if you’re a fan of that flavor. It’s great with potato chips, crackers, or celery and carrot sticks, and it is equally good as a spread on slices of French bread.

Sweet-Hot Nuts
By Debbie Moose
Recipe: Sweet-Hot Nuts
Many sweet roasted pecans are too sweet for my taste. This recipe combines sweet and hot in a perfect blend. Because of the sugar, watch them carefully while cooking to make sure they don’t burn.
