Method

1. Clean the shrimp, removing the shell and the dark vein if necessary.
2. Heat the olive oil in a non-stick pan over medium-high heat.
3. Add the shrimp and sear for 2 minutes on each side until pink and slightly charred.
4. Season with chili flakes and pour in the lime juice, letting it glaze the shrimp for 30 seconds.
5. Slice the cucumber into thick rounds and arrange them on a serving plate.
6. Place one or two shrimp on each cucumber slice.
7. Finish with a sprinkle of fresh lime zest if available and serve immediately.

Tips

• For extra crunch, keep the cucumber in ice water until the moment you assemble the snack.
• This snack is best assembled just before eating to prevent the cucumber from releasing water.
