CUCUMBER SHRIMP TEA SANDWICHES

Cucumber Shrimp Tea Sandwiches image

I think tea sandwiches are just so cute and elegant. The recipe for these came from a wonderful fund raiser party for the theater where I volunteer and used to be the box office manager. They were so pretty, elegant, and delicious. The servings will actually depend on how many shrimp you have to work with. From what I observed, people will pick up two at a time and possibly return for more.

Choose the right bread: A sturdy bread that can hold up to the fillings is best. Some good options include white bread, wheat bread, or sourdough.
Use fresh, high-quality ingredients: The better the quality of your ingredients, the better your sandwiches will taste. Look for fresh seafood, cucumbers, and mayonnaise.
Don't skimp on the butter: Butter adds richness and flavor to the sandwiches. Be generous with it when you're spreading it on the bread.
Season the seafood and cucumbers to taste: A little bit of salt and pepper can go a long way. You can also add other seasonings, such as lemon juice, dill, or chives.
Chill the sandwiches before serving: This will help the flavors to meld and the bread to firm up.
