Florida or Cuban-American appetizer, perhaps something with shrimp and or citrus? Thanks for your help.

Tomorrow we have our themed monthly family dinner: "Florida" this month. Main dish will be Cuban sandwiches with sliced pork & ham. Sides are a citrus slaw & a fruit plate. Dessert is a frozen key lime pie (plus a chocolate cake for a young birthday girl). I forgot I'd signed up to do an appetizer, and was reminded today! SOS.

I'm a good cook, but not very good at deep frying. Dish must be prepped/cooked at my home, and travel only a 10 min drive.

Criteria: - Goes well/ok with wine and/or beer

• Light in Flavors (ok if calorie-rich)

• Not a cheese plate (we do that too often)

• Not a salsa & chips

• Not guac (we do that all the time)

• Not pork (main is pork-heavy)

• Room temp or oven warmed ok

• Shrimp might be nice

• Not bread-heavy? (main is a sandwich)

• Bit time intensive prep/bake ok

• Expenisive/"exotic" ingredients ok

• Adventurous/Fusion ok

Thanks again :-)
