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.
