Skewered Shrimp with Tzatziki

Start with our Skewered Shrimp, a fan favorite that packs a punch of flavor. These shrimp are perfectly grilled and paired with our creamy Tzatziki sauce. The combination is a match made in snack heaven.

• Why you’ll love it: The shrimp are marinated in herbs, giving every bite a burst of Mediterranean taste. The Tzatziki adds a cool contrast with its tangy yogurt base, cucumber, and a hint of garlic.

• How it’s served: Enjoy them hot off the grill, served on skewers for easy eating while cheering for your team.

This snack is perfect for those who crave a taste of the sea and the garden all in one bite. It’s a step up from the usual, offering a refreshing twist that will leave your guests talking.

Crispy Cauliflower and Rosemary Hummus

Another standout is our Crispy Cauliflower, paired with fragrant Rosemary Hummus. This dish is not only delicious but also a hit among those looking for a healthier option.

• Crunch factor: The cauliflower is lightly battered and fried to a golden crisp, providing that satisfying crunch everyone loves.

• Herbaceous goodness: Our rosemary hummus is a blend of chickpeas, tahini, and rosemary, giving it an earthy, aromatic flavor that complements the cauliflower perfectly.

This combination is sure to be a crowd-pleaser. It challenges the notion that vegetables are boring, delivering excitement to your palate with each bite.
