  • 1/2 cup finely minced shallots
  • 1/2 lb medium-size fresh shrimp, peeled and cut into 1/2-inch pieces
  • 1/2 cup diced tomato
  • 1/2 cup razor red onions
  • garnish: dillweed sprigs

  1. Peel cucumbers. Cut into 1/2-inch pieces; toss cucumber with salt, and transfer to a colander placed over a bowl. Cover and chill up to 8 hours.
