Shrimp and Cucumber Tzatziki Bites

Ingredients

  • 1 cup plain fat free Greek yogurt
  • 4 tsp fresh dill (or 1 teaspoon dried) minced (plus extra for garnish)
  • 4 tsp fresh mint leaves minced
  • 4 tsp shallots minced
  • 1 tsp fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tsp finely grated lemon zest
  • ½ tsp kosher salt
  • 2 pinches cayenne pepper
  • 24 cooked shrimp medium peeled, deveined, tails removed
  • 1 English cucumber sliced into twenty-four 1/8-in-thick slices

Instructions

  • Place yogurt in a cheesecloth-lined strainer set over a bowl; refrigerate for three hours or up to overnight (to let liquid drain from yogurt).
  • In a medium bowl, combined strained yogurt, dill, mint, shallot, lemon juice, lemon zest, salt and cayenne.
  • When ready to serve, spoon 1-2 tsp yogurt mixture onto each cucumber slice; top with shrimp. Garnish with dill; serve. (I used most of two cucumbers, 1 tsp yogurt mix and ½ medium sized shrimp per bite – this doubled the number of bites.)
