Three pizza-based dipping sauces

For appetizers at a house party, make three simple dips with popular pizza flavors. All three start with the same tomato and pepperoni base, then add different toppings to each version.

So much variety for an appetizer without the hassle! Serve the dips with fried cheese sticks for dipping.

Tzatziki

The thick consistency of Greek yogurt eliminates the need to strain it through cheesecloth, a common practice in tzatziki recipes. However, be sure to squeeze out any excess liquid from the grated cucumber. This ensures the tzatziki remains thick and creamy. For the most vibrant flavor, use fresh herbs rather than dried.

Creamy Shrimp Scampi Dip

Shrimp scampi is an Italian-American dish consisting of shrimp cooked in a sauce made with butter, garlic, dry white wine, and Parmesan cheese.

For the cheese sauce, heat beer with a little lemon juice on the stovetop and dissolve a mixture of grated Gouda, Emmental, and starch in it.
