Shrimp and Avocado Rounds

So......I hate Shrimp, AND Avocado.  You won't find many recipes here featuring those items.  But, I saw this one on a website and thought, "I can do that", and many others will enjoy it.  So, I managed to make them and they were beautiful, and (so I am told) delicious.  I loved that you didn't have to cook anything, and with the cucumber being the "plate" they were portable and super healthy too.  






Shrimp and Avocado Rounds


Ingredients:

  • 1/4 cup reduced-calorie (or reg.) mayo
  • 1 tsp wasabi powder or paste
  • 1/2 tsp. soy sauce
  • 1/2 large (I use English) cucumber cut into 24- 1/2" thick slices
  • 1/2 medium avocado, quartered and then cut into 24 slices
  • 8oz cooked shrimp (about 24 small)- peeled and deveigned (I used Costco shrimp and also cut the tails off to make eating them easier)
  • 2 Tbsp. finely chopped radish
  • 1/4 cup mint (approx 24 leaves), left whole for garnish

Directions:
  • To make Wasabi Mayo, stir together first three items until smooth
  • To make appetizers, spread cucumber slices on platter, top each with 1/2 tsp. of wasabi mayo, then shrimp, avocado and sprinkle radish on top.  Finish with a mint leaf.
