Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 piece Large cucumber
- 15 pieces Cooked shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 2 tablespoons Mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon Sriracha sauce
- 1 teaspoon Lime juice
- 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro, chopped
- 1 tablespoon Green onion, thinly sliced
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Toasted sesame seeds (optional)
Instructions
Wash the cucumber thoroughly and pat it dry with a clean towel. Use a knife or a vegetable peeler to remove strips of the skin for a striped effect (optional).
Slice the cucumber into 1/4-inch thick rounds, aiming for about 15 equal slices, and set aside.
In a small bowl, mix the mayonnaise, sriracha sauce, and lime juice until fully combined. Set aside for assembly.
Lightly season the cooked shrimp with a pinch of salt and black pepper. This will enhance their natural flavor.
To assemble, place a small dollop of the sriracha mayo sauce onto each cucumber slice.
Top the cucumber and sauce with one shrimp, ensuring it is neatly centered on each slice.
Garnish each cucumber shrimp san with chopped fresh cilantro, green onion, and a sprinkle of toasted sesame seeds (if desired).
Serve immediately as a refreshing appetizer or snack. Enjoy the crisp, flavorful bites!
