Shrimp & Cucumber Boat Ingredients

Method

Preparation Directions

1

Prepare the Shrimp

In a bowl, toss the shrimp with Cajun seasoning, salt, and pepper. Ensure the shrimp are well coated.

2

Cook the Shrimp

Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Add a drizzle of oil and cook the seasoned shrimp for about 2-3 minutes on each side or until they are pink and cooked through. Remove from heat.

3

Prepare the Cucumber Boats

Cut the English cucumbers in half lengthwise and scoop out the seeds with a spoon, creating a boat.

4

Make the Avocado Mousse

In a blender or food processor, combine avocado, lime juice, salt, and pepper. Blend until smooth and creamy.

5

Assemble the Boats

Fill the cucumber boats with a layer of avocado mousse, then top with the cooked blackened shrimp.

6

Drizzle with Dressing

Drizzle the smoked buttermilk dressing over the assembled cucumber boats and sprinkle with chopped chives.
