Ingredients

2 cucumbers

16 large cooked shrimp, de-veined

2 tbsp fresh ginger, minced

1 garlic clove, minced

1/4 cup rice wine vinegar

1 tbsp lemon juice

2 tbsp fresh cilantro, minced

1 tbsp sesame seeds

2 tbsp honey

1/2 cup olive oil

2 cups watercress, washed, dried

Salt and pepper to taste

Directions

1. Using a vegetable peeler or mandolin, cut the cucumber into long strips. Each cucumber should yield 8 to 10 strips. Set the cucumber strips aside.

2. Place the ginger, garlic, rice wine vinegar, lemon juice, cilantro, sesame seeds and honey in a bowl. Slowly whisk in the oil.

3. Place the watercress in a bowl, season with salt and pepper. Add just enough vinaigrette to cover the watercress and toss. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.

4. Place a large pinch of watercress on one end of the cucumber. Top with a shrimp, with the tail end hanging over the edge of cucumber.

5. Roll the cucumber to the opposite end and secure with a small wooden skewer or toothpick.

6. Serve immediately or chill for up to an hour.
