Starters For Christmas Day

I'm in a quandary about what to dish up as a starter on Christmas Day. I was going to do a goats' cheese starter but now that I'm doing a cheeseboard instead of a pudding, I need something non-cheesy to start.

Ideally something that can be prepped in advance or something I can cook in a very short space of time. We all like scallops. I'd rather not do prawn cocktail or soup.

Suggestions most welcome.

TIA.

Smoked salmon crudities, home made pate. I have a recipe for one I used to do with pate on bottom and Philly cream cheese on top in bell or Santa mold.

Not giving you any ideas Lady - but I do not know of one nice shop bought prawn - as in prawn cocktail and through the sauce - the prawns taste like rubber bands.

Seafood platter that way everyone can eat what they want off the centre of the table or ceviche scallops with a Bloody Mary sauce

Jj...do you have an Iceland up your way? Their raw frozen prawns are excellent.

Hi Pasta,

Yes I've always got those prawns in my freezer.

MT, that sounds nice but I don't think my parents would eat smoked salmon.
