Thai Shrimp Salad Appetizer Spoons
Everyone loves a Thai shrimp salad and these little spoons make a great party appetiser. They are easy to eat, super healthy and look stunning on a party platter. Such a great finger food idea.
Ingredients
- ½ english cucumber
- 2 green onions
- 1 long red chilli
- 2 tablespoon lime juice
- 2 teaspoon fish sauce
- 2 teaspoon sugar
- 1 lb cooked shrimp - 26/30 count see note 1
- 2 tablespoon roasted peanuts
- 2 tablespoon fried onions see notes 2
- Cilantro leaves to serve
Instructions
- Cut the cucumber into batons and remove the seeds. Then chop the batons into small dice and place in a non-metallic bowl.
- Thinly slice the green onions and add them to the bowl.
- See and finely chop the red chlli, then add it to the bowl with the cucumber and onion.
- Mix the lime juice, fish sauce and sugar together and stir until the sugar has dissolved.
- Taste your dressing and adjust to your preference.
- Pour the dressing over the salad and stir to combine.
- Place a heaped teaspoon of the the cucumber mixture into each spoon and top with a shrimp (see note 1)
- Sprinkles over some roasted peanut, crispy onion and garnish with a cilantro leaf.
Notes
- Whilst 26/30 count shrimp look generous, you can use a smaller count. If you go above 50 count then I would add two shrimp to each spoon.
- Crispy onions are sold in shakers in the salad dressing aisle of the supermarket. Or you can buy crispy shallots at the Asian supermarket.
