What are some of the best appetizer recipes you have come across?

i am having a party and need some good tried and true appetizers that are easy and quick to prepare and will make a great impression. The yummier the better!! Dips, finger foods etc....thanks!!What are some of the best appetizer recipes you have come across?
Melon and Prosciutto Canapes





Mix 1 pound of softened cream cheese with 2 tablespoons of chopped mint, and 1 seeded, minced jalapeno.





Spread a thin layer of the cream cheese mixture on small pieces of toasted breat (thinly sliced baguettes work great).





Top each piece with a thin slice of prosciutto.





Put a small dollop of the cream cheese mixture on each piece of prosciutto.





Use a melon-baller to make small balls of honeydew or canteloupe.





Put one piece of melon on each prosciutto-topped canape and serve.What are some of the best appetizer recipes you have come across?
1)Stuffed mushrooms:mix butter with fresh herbs (rosemary, oregano, thyme etc), garlic gloves, salt, pepper + lemon juice. Fill in the mushroom head, and under the grill for about 20 min. serve luke warm.


2) butter slices of tost bread. Add slices of smoked salomn, springle with lemon, black pepper and dill.
How about an artichoke/spinach dip? They're always a big hit at our family parties! IF you don't feel like doing all that, shrimp cocktail with melted butter on the side is always a nice touch also! Good luck!
Shrimp Boil:


Use the largest shrimp you can find and peel and clean them, (usually people serve ';peel and eat'; but it's a mess and work for your guests, peeled and cleaned king sized shrimp makes a much better presentation) baby red potatoes, corn on the cob cut into 1 1/2 inch peices. Follow instructions on package of shrimp/crab boil such as Zatairan's. Serve with wedges of lemon and lime. Finger food with a little class. Just a little.
One of my favorites is cocktail winnies,one pk of cocktail winnies, one tablespoon of mustard, one small jar of grape jelly, put in a crock pot and cook for 40/50 mins depending on how hot your crock pot cooks.Don't knock it untill you try it it's great, quick %26amp; easy.
