Shrimp Salad in Cucumbers
I just got this great recipe from Essense.com that I will be making for my cousins bridal shower. These look fabulous and they look like they will just taste so good too. And it really does not look as though it will take too much time to make either. Those are the best combinations to have when you make something to eat!
INGREDIENTS
2 item English (long) cucumbers
1 pound cooked small shrimp
1/2 cup minced celery
1/4 cup minced red onion
2 tablespoon snipped chives
1/2 cup low-fat mayonnaise
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon salt (optional)
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
PREPARATION
Partially peel cucumbers lengthwise, creating stripes; cut into 3/4-inch-thick slices (about 26 pieces). Using a spoon, scoop out a little of each slice; do not pierce bottom. Place on baking sheet lined with paper towels; cover with plastic wrap and chill until filling and serving (up to several hours).
In bowl, mix shrimp and remaining ingredients. Fill each cucumber cup with shrimp salad.
If desired, garnish with sprinkle of paprika and pieces of chive
