🍋 Crispy Lemon Garlic Shrimp Cucumber Cups 🌱
Fresh, crunchy, creamy, crispy — all in one bite!
✨ Makes 10–12 cups | Serves 3–4
Ingredients:
• 2 large cucumbers
• 10–12 medium shrimp, peeled & deveined
• ½ cup Fullei Fresh clover sprouts
• ⅓ cup panko breadcrumbs
• 1 egg, beaten
• ¼ cup flour
• 3 tbsp cream cheese, softened
• 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
• ½ tsp lemon zest
• ½ tsp garlic powder
• Olive oil cooking spray
• Salt & black pepper, to taste
• Red pepper flakes, optional
👩‍🍳 Instructions:
1. Peel the cucumbers and cut them into thick rounds, about 1 inch thick. Using a small spoon, carefully scoop out part of the center of each piece without going all the way through, creating small cucumber cups.
2. Pat the shrimp dry and season with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Lightly coat each shrimp in flour, then dip into the beaten egg and finish with a thin layer of panko.
3. Spray the breaded shrimp lightly with olive oil and cook in the air fryer at 400°F (200°C) for 6–8 minutes, turning halfway through, until golden and crispy.
4. Meanwhile, combine the softened cream cheese with lemon juice and lemon zest until smooth and creamy.
5. Add a small spoonful of the lemon cream cheese mixture to each cucumber cup, followed by a small amount of clover sprouts.
6. Place one crispy shrimp on top of each cucumber cup.
7. Finish with additional clover sprouts, a little lemon zest, and red pepper flakes if desired.
Serve immediately.
