Snippy Shrimpish Salad
- 1 pound Bay Shrimp
- 1/2 pounds Crab - Doesn't Have To Be Lumpmeat
- 1/2 pounds Surimi - Instead Of The Crab, But Only If You Insist
- 1 tub Smoked Salmon Cream Cheese
- 1/2 cups Sour Cream
- 1 bunch Scallions
- 3 teaspoons Sriracha Sauce - If You Have The Lemongrass Flavor, So Much The Better
- 2 whole Cucumbers, Washed
- 1 bunch Chives
- - Go through the shrimp and crab and pick out any nasty bits.
- In a bowl, smoosh the smoked salmon cream cheese and sour cream together.
- Clean the scallions.
- Starting with the green end, slice thin rounds until you start hitting the white bulbs.
- Stop, wrap the bulbs and save them for a tasty snack later.
- Add the sriracha to the sour cream/cheese mix.
- Itll be tea-party sandwich pink.
- Stir in the scallions, shrimp and crab, coating all ingredients.
- Slice the cucumber into 1/4 rounds.
- I prefer my cucumbers unpeeled please, no snickering, because it adds to the flavor and the integrity of the cucumber as a cracker.
- Back to the snippy shrimp bowl.
- Taste it.
- Want a little more bite?
- Add more sriracha.
- Too thick?
- Add a little more sour cream.
- Now youve balanced the flavors in the bowl, time to release them into the wild.
- Take a cucumber cracker and spoon a healthy dollop of the shrimp on top.
- Repeat.
- Finish the bites with a couple snips of chive on each or maybe a little chopped radish if you still need to pink-it-up.
- ............................... Once youve made this, play with it.
- Add some smoked salmon or add some firm, cooked whitefish.
- Add chopped radish for a little bit of peppery crunch, or add some chopped jicama.
- Oh, and did I mention that this also makes a mean sammie?
