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.

CUCUMBER SHRIMP SALAD

Cucumber Shrimp Salad image

I adopted this recipe and prepared it on August 23, 2006. I felt that it needed a boost of flavor and made some changes to the dressing (importantly to include the wasabi). The original poster found this in Sunset Magazine. The cucumbers become more flavorful the longer you soak them, but I would caution against marinating the shrimp for more than 20 minutes, as the texture will suffer.
