If someone has been to a party at my house, or my mother's, they have probably had these bites. I even handed over the recipe and specifically requested someone make them for a baby shower being thrown for me by friends a few years ago. I love them that much. They are healthy, low in calories and fat, full of flavor, and just plain pretty on a platter. Mama-san gets credit for this recipe.
2 Tbsp. rice wine vinegar
1 tsp. sugar
1/2 pound cooked bay (or salad) shrimp
1 English cucumber, thinly sliced
Pickled ginger (found in jars at most grocery stores)
Stir together the sugar and vinegar until dissolved. Mix in shrimp, cover and refrigerate for at least one or up to four hours. Arrange one or two of the marinated shrimp on top of each cucumber slice. Top with a slice of pickled ginger.
Mmmmmmmm, yummy!
Fitness, food, & writing are my passions, so of course, a blog. As a certified personal trainer in Napa, where food is an art form, I want to eat it, enjoy it, & still be able to get in to my jeans. Anti diet, pro healthy lifestyle. I've spent the last 20 yrs teaching about food & fitness, researching, & writing about it, so I've got a lot to say. I believe in balance; don't forget to do your pushups, & if you love 'em, by all means, enjoy some pancakes!
