Shrimp Cucumber
Besides being tasty and healthy, these cucumber appetizers are delicious! It literally takes you 5 to 10 minutes to make. Perfect for parties or events. I like to have them after working out. I made them for my family and they disappeared within seconds.
OH! And It has a beautiful flavor of Berbere and Pili Pili.
