- 1 tablespoon Fresh dill, chopped
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper, freshly ground

Instructions
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the bay shrimp, mayonnaise, lemon juice, chopped dill, salt, and black pepper. Mix until the shrimp are evenly coated and the ingredients are well combined. Set aside.
Lightly butter the slices of bread, then toast them in a skillet over medium heat or in a toaster oven until golden brown.
Place a lettuce leaf on each toasted slice of bread, creating an even base for the toppings.
Layer a few slices of tomato and cucumber on top of the lettuce.
Spoon the shrimp mixture evenly over the two slices of bread, spreading it gently to cover the surface without spilling over.
