Tropical Pool Party

This was a high school graduation party. The honoree's family had just remodeled their home and pool and it looks like an island resort. We tried to come up with a menu that would fit the decor but that teenagers would like.

As I posted on the swap, we did all sorts of other things too, but if I had it to do over again, I would narrow it down to this:

HORS D'OEUVRES:

Coconut Shrimp with Tamarind-Ginger Dipping Sauce

Spicy Black Bean Cakes with Crema and Salsa

Queso-stuffed Jalapenos

Scallops Broiled with Prosciutto

BUFFET:

Warm Chicken, Mango and Avocado Salad with Chile-rum Dressing

Beef Kebabs with Sylvia's Jerk Marinade, with Grilled Scallions

Assorted Grilled Sausages

CathyZ's Cilantro-Coconut Rice

Sylvia's Ginger Green Beans

Flatbread with Cumin and Coriander

Cucumber Salad with red onion and red bell pepper

Tropical Fruit Platter

DESSERT:

Pineapple Upside-down Cake

Ginger-Almond Wafers

Marilyn's White Chocolate Coconut Cream Bars

Lemon Bars.
