Simple, Savory and Sharable: Crowd Favorite Appetizers

At Delectables Fine Catering, we believe every wedding and event should start with a memorable first bite. Butler-passed hors d’oeuvres set the tone, offering guests a taste of what’s to come while keeping the energy lively and social. From vibrant seafood creations to comforting bites with a gourmet twist, our most popular selections combine impeccable flavor with beautiful presentation, earning rave reviews time and time again. Take a look at some of our guest favorites below.

Seafood Shooters

Our undisputed star, these miniature masterpieces pair shrimp and bay scallops in a decadent lobster thermidor sauce, elegantly served in a real scallop shell. Guests can’t resist the fresh, ocean-sweet seafood balanced by the rich, velvety sauce. It’s a bite that feels both indulgent and celebratory, the kind of hors d’oeuvre that has guests asking for “just one more.”

Coconut Shrimp with Orange Horseradish Sauce

Crisp, golden, and lightly sweet, our coconut-breaded shrimp are a tropical delight. The bright, zesty orange horseradish sauce adds a playful kick, making this appetizer as memorable as it is delicious. Perfect for waterfront weddings or any event where you want to evoke a little island magic.

Grilled Cheese Shooters with Tomato Bisque

Comfort food gets a sophisticated makeover with our mini grilled cheese sandwiches paired with velvety tomato bisque. Served shooter-style, it’s a nostalgic pairing presented in a fresh, modern way. Guests love the warm, cozy flavors, especially during cooler-season celebrations.

Mini-Chicken & Waffles Drizzled with Honey

A Southern classic in miniature form, these feature tender fried chicken nestled on a fluffy Belgian waffle, finished with a drizzle of golden honey. The sweet-savory combination is irresistible, and always a conversation starter as trays make their way through the crowd.

Shrimp Cocktail Shooters

A timeless favorite reimagined, our shrimp cocktail shooters feature plump, perfectly poached shrimp served in an individual glass with zesty cocktail sauce and fresh lemon. It’s the ultimate in elegant finger food, clean, simple, and universally loved.

Why We Love Them

These hors d’oeuvres succeed because they combine beautiful presentation with big flavor in a single bite.
