Author:
Ingredients
  • 3 medium cucumbers
  • 2-3 tsp. olive oil
  • Salt and pepper (to taste)
  • ½- ¾ lb. shrimp, cooked and roughly chopped
  • ½ a roasted red pepper, diced (may substitute with fresh cut pepper if preferred)
  • ½ cup black beans, rinsed and drained
  • Small bunch of fresh parsley, roughly chopped (may substitute cilantro if preferred)
  • 2 tbsp. orange juice, freshly squeezed
  • ¼ tsp. orange zest
  • ½ tsp. cumin
  • 2 tbsp. olive oil
  • Salt & pepper (to taste)
Instructions
  1. In a small bowl whisk together orange juice, orange zest, cumin and olive oil; season with salt and pepper to taste.
  2. Cut all three cucumbers in half then cut each segment in half lengthwise to form a total of 12 cucumber halves. Using a spoon hollow out the center of each to form a shallow cavity or boat.
  3. Drizzle with olive oil, use your fingers to rub it all over and then season with salt and pepper.
  4. In a bowl combine shrimp, diced red pepper and black beans. Add the vinaigrette and toss gently to coat.
  5. Fill each boat, sprinkle with parsley and chill for 15 minutes.
  6. Serve & enjoy.
Notes
Filling and vinaigrette may be made prior to serving but do not cut and assemble until ready to use or the cucumbers will leach water and the boats will become soggy.
