Ingredients
Yield:40 canapes
- 20medium shrimp, shelled, de-veined and halved lengthwise
- Salt
- 2medium-size cucumbers, peeled
- 1cup cooked long-grain rice
- 2tablespoons rice vinegar
- Pinch of sugar
- 4tablespoons pesto
Preparation
- Step 1
Drop the shrimp into boiling salted water. As soon as they turn pink and curl, drain them, refresh them in cold water and set aside to drain and cool.
- Step 2
While the shrimp are cooling, slice the cucumbers into rounds a little less than one-half-inch thick. You should be able to make about 20 rounds from each cucumber. Place the rounds on paper towels to dry.
- Step 3
Mix the rice with the vinegar and sugar. Mold rounded teaspoons of the rice into little balls with your fingers. Top each cucumber slice with a ball of rice, then gently flatten the rice to make a topping that fits the cucumber. Spread each with a dab of the pesto, then top with a slice of shrimp.
