Gingered Shrimp Bites

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!
