CUCUMBER SHRIMP TEA SANDWICHES
I think tea sandwiches are just so cute and elegant. The recipe for these came from a wonderful fund raiser party for the theater where I volunteer and used to be the box office manager. They were so pretty, elegant, and delicious. The servings will actually depend on how many shrimp you have to work with. From what I observed, people will pick up two at a time and possibly return for more.
