Creamy Mustard Dipping Sauce:
1 cup mayonnaise
4 teaspoons dry mustard powder (such as Colman's(R))
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon steak sauce
1 teaspoon half-and-half
1 teaspoon lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon sriracha sauce
salt to taste
12 puff pastry shells (such as Pepperidge Farm(R))
Cheesy Bay Scallop Filling:
2 tablespoons butter, divided
12 ounces bay scallops
1/3 cup sliced mushrooms
1 tablespoon minced shallot
1/2 cup half-and-half
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons dry white wine
1 tablespoon dry sherry
1/2 teaspoon lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1/4 cup shredded Parmesan cheese
1 tablespoon chopped fresh tarragon
ground black pepper to taste
Quarterback Attack Shooters:
4 fluid ounces gin
2 fluid ounces sweet vermouth
2 teaspoons maraschino cherry juice
2 dashes orange bitters
4 maraschino cherries
1 bunch red grapes
1 pound cooked shrimp
1 lemon, cut into wedges
Hot Pepper Jelly Chips:
4 ounces goat cheese, softened
1/2 cup hot red pepper jelly
4 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled
24 large, ridged potato chips (such as Ruffles(R))
24 thin slices jalapeno pepper (optional)

1
Whisk mayonnaise, dry mustard, Worcestershire sauce, steak sauce, half-and-half, lemon juice, sriracha, and salt together in a serving bowl until smooth and creamy. Cover and refrigerate.
2
Preheat the oven to 380 degrees F (190 degrees C). Place pastry shells on a baking sheet.
3
Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, about 20 minutes. Allow shells to cool completely.
4
Meanwhile, melt 1 tablespoon butter in a medium-sized skillet over medium-high heat. Add scallops and saute quickly on both sides until browned, 3 to 5 minutes; do not overcook. Remove from skillet and set aside. Reduce heat to medium and melt remaining butter in the skillet. Add mushrooms and shallots and cook until just tender, 3 to 5 minutes.
5
Whisk half-and-half and flour together in a bowl and add to the skillet with the mushroom mixture, whisking until smooth and thickened, about 5 minutes. Whisk wine, sherry, lemon juice, and mustard into the cream sauce. Stir in Parmesan cheese, tarragon, and black pepper. Add cooked scallops, stir, and reheat briefly, 1 to 3 minutes.
6
Cut tops off the pastry shells. Fill with cheesy scallops and place at the bottom of a large horizontal board.
7
Fill a cocktail shaker with ice. Add gin, vermouth, cherry juice, and bitters. Shake well and strain into 4 shot glasses. Add a cherry to each glass. Position quarterback attack shooters diagonally at the upper left of the board. Place grapes in both the upper and lower left corners of the board.
8
Place the bowl of creamy mustard dipping sauce on the right side of the board and surround with shrimp and lemon wedges.
9
Spread about 1/2 tablespoon of goat cheese onto each potato chip, being careful not to break the chips. Add about 1 teaspoon of red pepper jelly to each chip and top with crumbled bacon and a jalapeno slice. Place hot pepper jelly chips above and to the left of the puff pastry shells, filling in any empty space.
