So easy, so elegant, these dazzlingly beautiful appetizers are ready in under 20 minutes, do not require any cooking and have only eight ingredients! The wasabi mayo gives a bit of heat and the avocado lends delicious, buttery texture to the crunchy-cool cucumber base. You can purchase peeled and deveined shrimp already cooked in most freezer sections or have your fishmonger steam the shrimp from fresh at the market. Either way, this recipe will make you want to have a party tonight!
