Servings 12
Ingredients
- 1 large English cucumbers
- 24 small shrimp
- 4 oz. cream cheese softened
- 2 tbsp. mayonnaise (I used homemade mayonnaise)
- ¼ cup ranch (I used homemade ranch recipe)
- 1 tbsp. fresh dill
- ¼ tsp. garlic juice
- Black pepper fresh dill for garnish
Instructions
- First, rinse, peel, and slice each English cucumber into half-inch slices. Using a teaspoon, scoop out a little of the insides of each cucumber slice to form a well. Arrange all the cucumber slices on a serving platter.
- In a bowl, combine softened cream cheese, mayo, and ranch. Use a hand mixer to blend these ingredients until they are smooth in texture. Then, add freshly chopped herbs such as dill and the juice squeezed from a large garlic clove. Mix again until all the ingredients are well combined.
- Transfer the creamy mixture into a piping bag with a star attachment. Fill each cucumber well with about ¾ of a tablespoon of the creamy mixture.
- Place one small shrimp onto the creamy topping of each cucumber bite. For added flavor, garnish each cucumber shrimp bite with fresh dill and freshly ground black pepper.
- These cucumber shrimp appetizers are the perfect snack and can be prepared several hours before serving. Just make sure to refrigerate them until you're ready to serve. Enjoy the fresh tastes and gluten-free goodness of these delicious bites!
