Well hello, BBQ season! I know you plan on having family and friends over for some great food. You have to add these three refreshing items at the next gathering. They are easy time-saving bites and a refreshing beverage your family and friends will enjoy. It is not the same familiar appetizers your family is used too.
Shrimp Cucumber Bites
This appetizer is my favorite. I had to try this Cucumber! Avocado! Shrimp! combo found on Pinterest. Cook and season your shrimp to your taste. The Gourmet Collection Spice Blends seasoning is my favorite spices to use when cooking. I use the Fisherman Seafood Spectacular for the shrimp. Some of the spices in this mix are dill, lemon, paprika, lime rosemary, parsley, chili, onion and more. This is all you need for the boom! I seasoned the guacamole with roasted vegetable spice from the collection.

You will not eat just one. You don’t even have to be a fan of avocado/guacamole to eat these if it’s seasoned well. Firework worthy in your mouth.
Grilled Jerk Chicken Skewers
This chicken skewer was selected because you always have someone roaming around the food seeing if the meat is ready. Right! Well, these skewers are easy to throw on the grill and heat up on the grill in 6-8 minutes. You read it right, 3-4 minutes on each side.
Please pick up these Grilled Jerk Chicken Thigh Skewers from Trader Joes. Mango Chutney sauce is included to glazed the chicken skewers or for a dipping sauce. I hope you can find these at your local Trader Joes. Certainly, stores carry different items or sell out quicker than others. If that is a case you might become a Trader Joes stalker.

Mocktail Colada
Welch’s Sparkling Pina Colada Non-alcoholic mocktail. Let’s cool off by turning this drink into a slushy. Add ice and blend it up for a great pina colada refresher.
Finally, The kids will enjoy the slush. They might even tease each other when they get that brain freeze. The adults know what they can do to make this drink into a firecracker. Also, the kids can try these two seperately or combined fun additions:
-
A strawberry puree for a swirl of fun.
-
Pop rock candy for their own firework party in their month.
Let me know what you do to make this slushy fun for the kids.
Feel free to share this post with someone you think should refresh their bbq. Or if you plan on being the refresher and making it yourself.
