Ingredients

The ingredients are:
  • 3/4 pound shrimp (medium shrimp, peeled & deveined)
  • 1/2 pound cucumber (1/2 cucumber, sliced)
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 8 slices (8 ounces) pumpernickel bread (toasted)
  • 1 cup hummus (store-bought or homemade)
  • 1/2 teaspoon Old Bay Seasoning (optional, but I favor its use)
We recommend you get your ingredients ready before you start cooking. Once you're ready, here are the steps to making this delicious recipe

How to Make

  • Step 1: In a lrg saucepan of salted water, bring the shrimp to a boil & cook until opaque, 2-3 min.

  • Step 2: Drain well of any excess moisture, halve the shrimp lengthwise & place in a lrg bowl. Add the cucumber slices & toss w/the lemon juice, oil & Old Bay Seasoning (if using).

  • Step 3: TO ASSEMBLE SANDWICHES: Divide & spread the hummus evenly on the toasted bread slices. Divide & place the cucumber slices atop the hummus. Lastly, divide & evenly apply the shrimp mixture atop the cucumber slices. Serve immediately.

  • NOTE RE YIELD: The yield depends more on your intended use than the recipe. I have shown the yield as 8 servings or 1 slice per person when used as a starter course. BUT this can also be a luncheon entree, would serve 4 in that case (2 slices per person) & a side serving of fruit seems ideal to accompany it
