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.

SCANDINAVIAN OPEN-FACE BAY SHRIMP SANDWICH



Scandinavian Open-Face Bay Shrimp Sandwich image

Categories     Sandwich     Herb     Shellfish     No-Cook     Summer     Bon Appétit

Yield Serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 11

1/2 cup mayonnaise
1/2 cup chopped fresh dill
4 teaspoons Dijon mustard
2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
4 egg or pumpernickel bread slices, toasted
1 pound cooked bay shrimp, drained, patted dry
4 butter lettuce leaves
1/2 English hothouse cucumber, thinly sliced
4 tomato wedges
4 thin lemon slices
4 fresh dill sprigs

Steps:

  • Combine first 4 ingredients in medium bowl. Season with salt and pepper. Spread 1 tablespoon dressing over each bread slice. Mix shrimp into remaining dressing. Place 1 lettuce leaf on each bread slice, pressing to adhere. Arrange 6 cucumber slices atop lettuce on each slice. Arrange shrimp mixture atop cucumbers. Garnish each sandwich with tomato wedge, lemon slice and dill sprig.

Tips:

  • Select fresh, succulent shrimp. Look for shrimp that are firm and have a translucent appearance. Avoid shrimp that are discolored or have a slimy texture.
  • Cook the shrimp properly. Overcooked shrimp will be tough and rubbery. Cook shrimp until they are just opaque and pink, about 2-3 minutes per side.
  • Use high-quality mayonnaise. A good mayonnaise will make a big difference in the flavor of your sandwich. Look for a mayonnaise that is made with real eggs and oil, and avoid mayonnaise that contains a lot of fillers or preservatives.
  • Use fresh, crisp cucumbers. Cucumbers that are wilted or have brown spots will not taste good in your sandwich. Look for cucumbers that are firm and have a deep green color.
  • Use a variety of bread. You can use any type of bread you like for your sandwich, but some popular options include white bread, wheat bread, and sourdough bread.
  • Get creative with your toppings. In addition to shrimp and cucumbers, you can also add other toppings to your sandwich, such as lettuce, tomato, onion, or sprouts.

Conclusion:

The shrimp and cucumber sandwich is a delicious and refreshing sandwich that is perfect for a light lunch or dinner. It is easy to make and can be customized to your liking. With a few simple ingredients, you can create a sandwich that is both flavorful and satisfying. So next time you are looking for a quick and easy meal, give the shrimp and cucumber sandwich a try.
