Looking for unique and delicious food options to impress your guests? Look no further than Wooden Paddle! The signature Polenta Shrimp Pops are a great alternative to traditional cheese platters. These crispy fried polenta squares are topped with succulent pan-seared shrimp and drizzled with a decadent caramelized shallot cream sauce. Guests are sure to love them!
For pizza lovers, the Pretty Fly for a White Pie is a must-try. This pizza is rich with flavor, thanks to a combination of creamy ricotta, sharp gorgonzola, fresh garlic, and generous mozzarella. A dabble of extra virgin olive oil and cracked black pepper completes the dish perfectly.
But Wooden Paddle doesn't just cater to pizza lovers. The Seared Lasagna is as visually stunning as it is delicious. Guests will love the impressive layers of noodles, herbed ricotta, whipped mascarpone, marinara sauce, and vibrant green basil pesto, all topped off with freshly grated parmesan.
And when it comes to drinks, the handcrafted cocktails are the perfect pair to any meal. The Don't Take It for Pomegranate cocktail combines Prairie Organic Vodka, sweet-tart pomegranate grenadine, lime juice, and simple syrup. It's finished off with bubbly ginger beer, making it a delightful accompaniment to any course.
