Time 25m

Yield 40 canapes

Number Of Ingredients 7

20 medium shrimp, shelled, de-veined and halved lengthwise
Salt
2 medium-size cucumbers, peeled
1 cup cooked long-grain rice
2 tablespoons rice vinegar
Pinch of sugar
4 tablespoons pesto

Steps:

  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.

I'm not a big fan of shrimp, but this recipe might change my mind. The presentation is so beautiful!

Not bad, but not great either. The shrimp was a bit overcooked and the pesto sauce was bland.

Followed the recipe exactly and the shrimp turned out rubbery and overcooked. Very disappointed.

Not a fan. The pesto overpowered the shrimp and the sushi-style presentation was just awkward to eat.

This shrimp dish turned out amazing! The pesto sauce was the perfect complement to the shrimp, and the sushi-style presentation was a fun and creative twist. I'll definitely be making this again!
