14. Indiana
Featured Dish: Shrimp Cocktail
Three Words to Describe It: Iconic, Seaside, Bite-y
This, for some odd reason, is a super popular holiday appetizer in Indiana. It’s a good one at that! Shrimp Cocktail is something that everyone likes. It’s also an appetizer where, if you wanna bring something to a holiday get-together, but don’t feel like truly cooking or making anything, swing by your most favorite local grocery store and pick one up. The trick to make it look like you did it all yourself is to go to the Dollar Store and grab a plastic platter – arrange it all nice and boom, done!
