Ingredients
1 large European cucumber or two smaller ones
1/2 lb. medium cooked shrimp, thawed overnight in the fridge if frozen and drained well
1/2 cup thinly sliced basil or Thai basil
Directions
Thaw cooked shrimp overnight in the fridge if frozen; then drain well in a colander placed in the sink. While the shrimp drain, whisk together the lime juice, sweetener, fish sauce, Chili Garlic Sauce, and salt to make the dressing. Cut the basil into thin strips Then use the Spiralizer or one of the Three Ways to Make Zucchini Noodles to make the cucumber noodles. Put a couple of sheets of paper towel on the counter and spread the cucumber noodles out in a thin layer; then lay more towels on top of the noodles and press down until most of the liquid from the cucumbers is absorbed by the towels. Put the dried noodles into a bowl and toss with the dressing. Then add the drained shrimp and sliced basil and toss again. This is best right after it’s been made while the noodles and basil are still crisp. Enjoy!.
