I love stuffing or topping Cucumbers with goodies to serve as an appetizer. My Shrimp with Crab is a huge hit at parties and recently for Christmas, I made Cucumber cups and stuffed them with Chicken 65. I have to credit this idea to my coworker Andrea ā she watched my Chicken 65 stuffed Cucumber cups video and told me she did something similar with Greek salad. I thought that was a great and healthy idea and decided to top it off with some Shrimp to satisfy my resident carnivores. This is a great app to serve guests and you can just leave the Shrimp off for the Vegetarians.
Cucumber cups are super easy to make just slice them about 2 cms and then using a small ice cream scoop, remove a chunk out of the middle. If making these ahead, store these upside down on some kitchen towel to allow the water to drain as Cucumber does contain a lot of water.
