Cucumbers - 6 pieces

Step by Step guide

Step 1

Cut the cucumbers in half lengthwise. Sprinkle with salt and leave cut side down for 30 minutes.

Step 2

Meanwhile, make the mayonnaise: place one yolk in a bowl along with the juice of 1 lemon and a pinch of salt. Whisk lightly with a whisk or fork, then, while continuously whisking, slowly pour in the oil. You should end up with a thick, smooth sauce.

Step 3

Using the tip of a knife, scoop out the seeds from the cucumbers and remove the core so they look like boats. Chop the removed flesh and mix it with the chopped onion and garlic – place everything in a bowl, cover with foil, and refrigerate for 1 hour.

Step 4

In the meantime, place the shrimp in a pot, cover with water, add salt, and bring to a boil. Then drain the water and peel them.

Step 5

Boil the eggs hard and chop them finely.

Step 6

Mix together the diced tomatoes, pepper, cucumber with onion and garlic, shrimp, and mayonnaise. Distribute the mixture into the cucumber boats. Sprinkle with egg crumbs, cover with foil again, and refrigerate for another hour before serving.
