Shrimp Stuffed Cucumber Appy / My Way image

I made these for my Moms Birthday party and were a big hit...My sister made them with crab for another party, and I went by her recipe, tweaking to my own preferences. I believe I liked my version better. Hope you enjoy!

Time 15m

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 - 3 fairly long cucumbers
5 - 6 oz cooked shrimp - chopped
1/4 c each - sour cream & softened cream cheese
1 minced green onion - tops too
1/4 tsp lemon juice or to your liking
1/2 tsp dried dill
1/4 - 1/2 tsp cajun seasoning - i use 1/2 tsp - tony chacheres
i garnished with red pepper and green onions - could use paprika as well

Steps:

  • 1. In a small bowl, cream together the sour cream and cream cheese. Stir in onion, dill, lemon juice, chopped shrimp, Cajun seasoning. Mix well. Chill until ready to stuff the cucumber.
  • 2. Peel your cucumbers. Slice into about 2 inch thick slices. I used a 1 tsp measuring spoon(or can use a melon baller) and carefully scoop out most of the inside. Leaving some on the bottom to hold the filling. I turned upside down on paper towels to drain.
  • 3. When ready to serve, simply stuff each cucumber round and place on serving platter. ( I spooned filling into a zip lock baggie and piped it into each slice). Sprinkle with some paprika, dill and maybe some sliced green onions. They are delicious! Enjoy!
