Shrimp Cucumber Rounds Recipes

Steps:

• In a small bowl, combine the yogurt, chopped cucumber, garlic salt and dill; set aside., Cut each bacon strip in half widthwise and then lengthwise. Wrap a piece of bacon around each shrimp. Secure with toothpicks., In a large nonstick skillet, heat oil over medium heat; cook shrimp in batches for 3-4 minutes on each side or until bacon is crisp., Spoon a rounded 1/2 teaspoon yogurt sauce onto each cucumber slice; top with shrimp.

Steps:

• Peel the length of each cucumber to form alternating stripes of unpeeled and peeled. Cut the cucumbers into 12 (3/4-inch) pieces. Scoop out the center using a teaspoon or a melon baller, leaving the bottom and sides intact to form a cup. (Reserve the centers for the Round 2 Recipe Chicken Tacos with Cucumber Salsa.) Turn them upside down onto a towel and let them drain while you make the filling.
• Bring a medium pot of salted water to a boil over medium heat. Add the shrimp and cook until bright pink, about 3 to 4 minutes. Strain and rinse in cold water. Remove the shells and discard. (Reserve 12 shrimp for the Round 2 Recipe Shrimp and Potato Salad with Sour Cream and Bacon Dressing.)
• Chop the shrimp into small pieces and put them into a bowl. Add the horseradish, lemon juice, salt and pepper to taste, half the can of tomatoes (reserve the remaining half for the Round 2 Recipe Chicken Tacos with Cucumber Salsa) and 1 tablespoon of parsley. Evenly divide the shrimp mixture between the cucumber cups. Arrange them on a serving platter and garnish with remaining parsley.

Steps:

• Blend together the cream cheese, mayonnaise, ketchup, mustard, and garlic powder.
• Gently fold in the shrimp, chopped cucumber, & chopped onion.
• Chill for at least 3 hours in the refrigerator.
• When ready to serve, spread crackers or toast rounds with the spread, then garnish each with a cucumber round and a shrimp. This spread also makes a wonderful sandwich.
