Appetizers for a New Year’s Eve Bash

Skip the pricey pre-fixe menus and over-crowded bars, and host your own New Year’s Eve soiree. There’s no better way to ring in the new year than a spread of finger foods and a house full of friends and family. Here are a few of my favorite hor d’oeuvres, from Filipino-inspired crispy short ribs to a classic shrimp scampi (accompanied by plenty of crusty bread for sopping up the extra sauce, of course). With flavors from every corner of the globe, you’re bound to find a few recipes you’ll love.
