Rosemary Shrimp Skewers – Champagne Pairings to Ring in The New Year

Rosemary Shrimp Skewers – Champagne Pairings to Ring in The New Year

Rosemary Shrimp Skewers | Teaspoonofspice.com

We’re days away from popping bottles of the bubbly so I thought it would be fun to round up some Teaspoon recipes that are ideal to serve with Champagne or your favorite sparkling wine.

I start with one my all-time favorite party foods to make and eat, Rosemary Shrimp Skewers. I’m lucky to partake of the Italian-American tradition of 7 Fish Christmas Eve dinner every year, and every year, I bring this pretty shrimp dish that I’ve adapted from an old Cooking Light issue. This recipe also is a fantastic New Year’s Eve party appetizer as it pairs nicely with Prosecco, Champagne or just about any sparkler you are pouring at midnight.

Another easy appetizer idea – wrap paper thin strips of prosciutto around slices of persimmons.

Lastly, have this Black Eyed Pea with Bacon dish be the first food you eat at the stroke of midnight for good luck & prosperity in the new year.
