Impress your guests and yourself with these beautiful and simple shrimp bites. Ready in just under 30 minutes, these delightful rounds feature a flavorful, make-ahead cilantro mayo that comes together in a snap. The shrimp cook quickly and take on the spices easily. Tossing them in the spice blend before cooking with toast that spices for a deeper flavor. These delectable spicy shrimp sit on a slice of cool cucumber so choosing the right sized shrimp matters. Large shrimp are also called 26-30s. That number is an indication of the approximate number of shrimp per pound. Any larger and your shrimp may dwarf the cucumber round. Enjoy these as a party appetizer before a fine dinner party or a fun summer cook-out.
