This delightful appetizer features shrimp sautéed to perfection and stacked on top of crispy bacon and a crunchy cucumber. It's a perfect blend of salty, sweet and fresh when served with a zesty dipping sauce.

Ingredients

  • For the Shrimp:
  • 10 ounces large shrimp peel and deveined, yields 20 shrimp

  • 2 Tablespoons butter

  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

  • 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper

  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika

  • Other Ingredients:
  • 7 slices of bacon, cooked until crispy and cut into thirds

  • 1 10 inch English Cucumber cut into 1/2 inch slices

Directions

  • Peel and devein shrimp. Wash and set aside.
  • In a frying pan, fry the bacon and set aside on a plate with a paper towel to absorb the grease. Once cooled, cut into 3rds.
  • Season both sides of the shrimp with salt, pepper, and paprika. Heat the butter in a large skillet over medium high heat. Sear the shrimp on both sides until no longer opaque, about 2 to 3 minutes per side. Remove the skillet from the heat and set aside.
  • Slice the cucumber and lay out the cucumber slices on a platter and season with salt. Top with one slice of bacon and one shrimp. Secure with a toothpick and repeat.
