24 servings

INGREDIENTS

• 2 English cucumbers 1 teaspoon salt

Shrimp Salad:

• 1 pkg (340 g) small frozen shrimp thawed

• 2 tablespoons mayonnaise

• 1 tablespoon chopped fresh dill

• 1 teaspoon grated lemon rind

• 2 teaspoons lemon juice

• 1 pinch pepper

METHOD

Using vegetable peeler, peel off strips of cucumber skin lengthwise to create stripes; cut crosswise into 3/4-inch (2 cm) thick slices. Using melon baller or teaspoon, scoop out about 1 tsp (5 mL) pulp from centre of each slice, leaving base intact. Sprinkle slices with salt; invert onto paper towel-lined tray and let drain for 30 minutes.

Shrimp Salad: In bowl, stir together shrimp, mayonnaise, dill, lemon rind and juice, and pepper. Spoon into cucumber hollows.
