This recipe for Cucumber Canape with chive cream cheese and shrimp looks fancier than it is. I promise they’re easy to make but look fancy. Those are my favorite kinds of recipes.
Simply cream together the cream cheese, milk, onion powder, and chives and place it all in a Ziplock bag for piping into the cucumber “cups”. As far as the cups, the only thing to watch is not to dig the spoon in too deep when scooping out the center. You don’t want to go through the bottom of the cucumber and lose the whole “cup” effect.
These are also open for your own creative interpretation. Add whatever you’d like to the tops. Slivers of bell pepper, nuts, herbs, get creative.

These where a great hit. I wanted them for Thanksgiving but wasn’t sure if they would go over good since i have a bunch of naysayers when it comes to veggies, so i had a birthday party and decided to give it a shot, they where gone before i was getting back from the fridge with other odurfs, i had made 20 and made some with priscotte and some with salami.i set them all on crackers. They where a great hit and will be at all parties from now on, inexpensive and pretty on the table and delicious.
Thank you so much I’m looking for more finger food from you now 🙂
