Cucumber Shrimp Tea Sandwiches Recipes

Steps:

• In a small bowl, mix together the butter, parsley, chives, shallot and lemon zest.
• Lay the bread slices out on a clean work surface. Spread 2 teaspoons of the compound butter over each slice of bread. Trim the cucumber slices so that they are the length of the bread slices. (Save the scraps for salads.) Lay 4 pieces of cucumber across 1 slice of buttered bread--it is okay if the cucumbers overlap. Repeat on 5 more slices of bread. Season the top of the cucumbers lightly with salt. Next, add a single layer of radishes over the cucumbers, about 12 rounds per slice of bread.
• Toss the frisee with the lemon juice and a pinch of salt. Divide the frisee evenly over the radishes. Top the frisee with the remaining 6 slices buttered bread. Cut each sandwich into thirds with a serrated knife to make small rectangles. Serve immediately.

Steps:

• In a small bowl, beat the first eight ingredients until blended. Stir in the cucumbers, red pepper, onion, olives and parsley. Chill for up to 2 hours. , Remove crusts from bread; cut each slice into four triangles. Spread with cream cheese mixture. Garnish with cucumber slices and, if desired, dill sprigs.

Steps:

• Peel and slice the cucumber into very thin rounds. They should be slightly transparent.
• Mix softened cream cheese with garlic salt and dill weed.
• Spread cream cheese mixture on one half of each sandwich.
• Spread cucumber slices on halves. If the slices are thin enough, overlap the slices.
• Close the sandwiches, de-edge them with a serrated blade, and cut into triangular halves.

Steps:

• Peel the cucumber and cut in half lengthwise. Use a spoon and scrape out the seeds. In a food processor, place the cucumber. Pulse until chopped VERY fine, but not pureed.

• Spread cream cheese mixture evenly on one side of each bread slice.
• Divide cucumber slices over half of the bread slices; sprinkle lemon pepper on cucumber.
• Stack the other half of the bread slices with spread sides down over the cucumber slices to make sandwiches.

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, combine shrimp, parsley, lemon juice, zest, Worcestershire, and mayonnaise. Stir to thoroughly combine; season with salt and pepper.
• Thinly spread butter on two bread slices. Cover one with shrimp salad and sprouts, if using; top with other bread slice. Use a serrated knife to trim crusts and cut into two triangles; cut in half again to make four small triangles. Repeat with remaining ingredients. Cover with damp paper towels until ready to serve.

• Combine creme fraiche and dill.
