Ingredients:

For 6 servings

Method:

  1. 1

    Peel the length of each cucumber to form alternating stripes of unpeeled and peeled.

  2. 2

    Cut the cucumbers into 12 (3/4-inch) pieces. Scoop out the center using a teaspoon or a melon baller, leaving the bottom and sides intact to form a cup. (Reserve the centers for the Round 2 Recipe Chicken Tacos with Cucumber Salsa.) Turn them upside down onto a towel and let them drain while you make the filling.

  3. 3

    Bring a medium pot of salted water to a boil over medium heat.

  4. 4

    Add the shrimp and cook until bright pink, about 3 to 4 minutes. Strain and rinse in cold water.

  5. 5

    Remove the shells and discard. (Reserve 12 shrimp for the Round 2 Recipe Shrimp and Potato Salad with Sour Cream and Bacon Dressing.)

  6. 6

    Chop the shrimp into small pieces and put them into a bowl.

  7. 7

    Add the horseradish, lemon juice, salt and pepper to taste, half the can of tomatoes (reserve the remaining half for the Round 2 Recipe Chicken Tacos with Cucumber Salsa) and 1 tablespoon of parsley. Evenly divide the shrimp mixture between the cucumber cups. Arrange them on a serving platter and garnish with remaining parsley.
