Cucumbers and Shrimp Appetizer


My Mom made this appetizer on Thanksgiving.  We loved it!

Ingredients: 


2 cucumbers
1/2 cup shrimp, peeled, cleaned, and finely diced
1/2 cup tomatoes, finely diced
2-5 tablespoons of horseradish (depending on your taste)
1 tablespoon lemon juice
Salt and pepper, to taste
Bacon bits from about 3 bacon strips



Directions: 

  1. Cut the cucumbers into ~1/2 inch - 3/4 inch slices. 
  2. Scoop out the center of the cucumbers (you can use a mellon baller).  Don't go through to the bottom!
  3. Mix shrimp, tomatoes, horseradish, lemon juice, salt and pepper in a small bowl.  
  4. Scoop mixture into cucumbers. 
  5. Sprinkle stuffed cucumbers with bacon bits. 
Enjoy!
