Description

  1. Cut the cucumbers lengthwise in half.
  2. Remove the seed lines with a spoon. Carefully scoop out further until a nice, even groove is created in each half.
  3. In a bowl, mix the mayonnaise, mustard, ketchup, and a splash of lemon juice.
  4. Stir well and taste. Add a little pepper for extra zest if desired.
  5. Distribute the North Sea shrimp evenly over the cucumber grooves.
  6. Carefully spoon a little sauce over the shrimp.
  7. Cut each cucumber half into 6 pieces (for a total of 12 bites).
  8. Optionally garnish with finely chopped dill or parsley.
  9. Serve on a chilled platter with some lettuce underneath for presentation. Also delicious with a slice of lemon or an extra dollop of sauce beside each piece.

Enjoy your meal!
