A tour we think you'll love
Let’s go through the top finger food ideas for boating.
Grilled Shrimp Skewers
Grilled shrimp skewers are a fantastic addition to your Clearwater Beach boat party menu. In a bowl, mix olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, salt, and pepper to create a marinade.
Add your tasty shrimp to the marinade, making sure they are properly coated. Let them marinate for a little bit in the fridge. Thread the marinated shrimp onto skewers, leaving a little space between each shrimp.
Put your shrimp skewers on the preheated grill and cook until your shrimp are solid and slightly charred.
Just make sure you have proper food storage containers so your food doesn’t go bad.
Fruit and Vegetable Platter
You can never go wrong with a good fruit and vegetable platter. Wash all the fruits and vegetables thoroughly.
Arrange the fruits on one side of a large platter and the vegetables on the other side, creating a colorful display. Garnish the fruit platter with fresh mint leaves for added freshness.
Place a small bowl of ranch dressing or hummus in the center of the vegetable side for dipping. You’ll want to try and keep your platter nice and cool for as long as possible.
Guacamole and Chips
When you’re looking at simple appetizers, you should definitely think about guacamole and chips.
You can make your own guacamole, or pick some up at the store, so they’re simple to throw together.
They also pair great with your favorite party drink recipes. And, you can choose whatever your favorite types of chips are to complement them. Some options include tortilla chips, pita chips, plantain chips, or homemade baked chips.
Mini Key Lime Pies
If you want sweet treats, like for a birthday party, don’t slack on mini key lime pies.
Combine some Graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter. Press the crumb mixture into the bottoms and slightly up the sides of mini muffin tins, using about 1 tablespoon of mixture per cup. Use the back of a spoon or a small glass to press the crumbs firmly. Bake.
Whisk together sweetened condensed milk, some egg yolks, key lime juice, and lime zest until nice and smooth. Fill up your crusts. Then, bake for another few minutes. Voila, you have the dessert of your dreams!
