These 10 Costco Frozen Appetizers Will Outshine The Main Course

"Food is one of the best ways to bring people together. Finger foods bring people together and still allow for them to move around and socialize (something the Barefoot Contessa says is paramount for a good dinner party) all while staving off hunger until the main course arrives. If the appetizer is good enough, or the entree takes too long, quick bites can actually become the meal."

"Appetizers that can stand alone as an entree have been trending over the last decade. They're fun to eat, and many times not the usual fare we have on our dinner plates. When it comes to Costco's frozen appetizers, there are quite a few that people say they would happily skip the main course for, and they hope you do too."

"Fans of Costco say the Kirkland Signature tempura-style shrimp is great before or as their meal. Easy to prepare in the oven or air fryer, these large tempura-breaded shrimp come with their own soy dipping sauce but would be great with a sweet and sour sauce as well so give your guests some options. In a 30-pack, these will effortlessly serve a crowd, but they are so good you may want to grab two boxes."

"When looking for the best appetizer from Costco, this box of 50 spring rolls and multiple packets of soy ginger sauce is beloved. "I brought them to a casual get-together with some friends and they inhaled them," one commenter said. "So I brought them to the next couple hangouts, and they were always demolished." One user suggests pairing them with Bachan's original sauce, which you can"

Appetizers help start meals for both small and large gatherings, even when they are simple like bread and butter. Finger foods support socializing by letting people move around while hunger is held off until the main course arrives. Some appetizers can stand alone as a full meal, and this trend has grown over the last decade. Costco frozen appetizers are described as crowd-pleasing options that many people would serve without additional courses. Kirkland Signature tempura-style shrimp are presented as easy to prepare in an oven or air fryer, with soy dipping sauce and suggested alternatives like sweet and sour sauce. Spring rolls with soy ginger sauce are also highlighted as a favorite that guests quickly finish, with suggestions for pairing sauces.
