CUCUMBER SHRIMP TEA SANDWICHES
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.

Steps:
- Cool the cooked shrimp and shell and devein.
- If the shrimp are large, cut them in half lengthwise.
- Assemble the sandwiches: Spread mayonnaise generously over one inch of each slice of bread. Mound half the lettuce on half the bread slices, leaving a 1 inch margin of bread. Mound the shrimp on top of the lettuce and season them with some salt and a few drops of Worcestershire sauce. Cover with the remaining lettuce and another slice of bread.
- Press firmly on the edges to seal the sandwiches. Trim the crust if you wish.

Tips:
- Use fresh, succulent shrimp: The quality of your shrimp will make a big difference in the flavor of your sandwiches. Look for shrimp that are plump and have a slight briny smell.
- Cook the shrimp perfectly: Overcooked shrimp are tough and rubbery, so be careful not to overcook them. Cook the shrimp just until they are opaque and pink.
- Make your own mayonnaise: Homemade mayonnaise is easy to make and tastes much better than store-bought mayonnaise. It's also a great way to use up leftover egg yolks.
- Use a variety of toppings: The toppings you choose for your sandwiches will add flavor and texture. Some popular options include lettuce, tomato, cucumber, avocado, and bacon.
- Serve the sandwiches immediately: Shrimp luncheon sandwiches are best served immediately after they are made. The bread will get soggy if you wait too long.
Conclusion:
Shrimp luncheon sandwiches are a classic dish that is perfect for a light lunch or dinner. They are easy to make and can be customized to your liking. With a few simple tips, you can make the perfect shrimp luncheon sandwich that will be enjoyed by everyone.
