• Seafood Dinner

  In January Mom & Dad, and Fred & I, hosted a seafood dinner for 10 people at Mom & Dad's place.  We had donated it at a Benefit auction.  I had mentioned this earlier and said I would post pics.  In the rush of things I did not get many pictures of food during the event.  But here is what I did get!

  

   

  We used a snowflake theme for the table

  

   

  here is an individual place setting

  

   

  Fred and Dad peeled some of the shrimp so that I could lightly bread them

  

  I made a crab dip for an appetizer that we served to them as they arrived and waited of the rest of the party to arrive 

  

  We made a broccoli casserole and baked corn for their choice of vegetable and baked and served them in individual dishes 

  

   

  Here is what the fried shrimp looked like

  

   

  I also made a crab cake for each person.  I had never made these before and when I whipped up the ingredients it seemed as though there was not enough "batter" to hold everything together but it did  work and their were delicious if I have to say so myself!

  

   

  We also boiled a bunch of shrimp, Dad's specialty! 

  

   

  not the greatest pic but for dessert we gave them a choice of 5 cup salad ( Marshmallows, pineapple, mandarin oranges, sour cream and coconut) or they coul have.....

   

  

   

  Super dessert which has also been called 4 layer dessert. A nutty crust with cream cheese layer then a chocolate pudding layer and then cool whip.  Always a hit anywhere!

  And that was it!  They wee all stuffed and we had leftovers of everything!  Poor us had to eat the leftovers the next day for Sunday dinner!! LOL
