These crab cakes are easy to make and the best I've ever eaten! Serve with coarse mustard on the plate or your favorite mustard sauce.

A family friend made bagna cauda for me and it has been my favorite dipping sauce since. If you like garlic, you'll love this! It's traditionally served warm with crusty Italian bread, endive, or roasted potatoes on Christmas Eve.

I prepare this refreshing shrimp cocktail for my family a lot during the hot summer days. Being a Mexican family, we always add Mexican hot sauce (such as Valentina® or Tapatio®) and serve with saltine crackers on the side. The trick is to start with well-chilled shrimp, ketchup, and tomato juice cocktail so it can be ready after only chilling 1 hour in the fridge. Top with additional hot sauce and avocado slices if desired. Enjoy!

These tasty crab-stuffed mushrooms are seasoned with thyme, oregano, and savory. Choose good-sized mushrooms for this appetizer, about 2 inches across. Just wipe them clean with a damp towel.

These tuna patties are delicious dipped in ketchup, mustard, or hot sauce. They are also great served as a hot sandwich.
