Recipe: Cucumber Shrimp Tea Sandwiches

CUCUMBER SHRIMP TEA SANDWICHES

1/3 cup minced green onions
1/4 cup soft cream cheese, room temperature
1/4 cup mayonnaise
1/4 cup plain low-fat yogurt
2 tsp. fresh minced dill
1/4 tsp. garlic powder
1/4 tsp. black pepper
6 thinly sliced slices of homestyle white bread
1 1/2 pounds medium shrimp, cooked and peeled
1 cup thinly sliced cucumber
1/2 cup thinly sliced radishes
6 lettuce leaves

Combine first 7 ingredients in a bowl. Cut rolls in half horizontally.

Spread the cream cheese mixture on three slices of bread.

On the other three slices add the shrimp, then arrange the cucumber and radishes evenly on top. Next add one lettuce leaf to each slice, then top with the slices that were covered with the cheese mixture.

Press down lightly and cut into triangles with a serrated knife. If necessary you can place a decorative toothpick in each triangle.

Notes: Use your favorite type of lettuce. You can also buy small salad shrimp and diced them up into the cheese mixture instead of using the bigger ones.
