- Bring a slow cooker. Get a 4-quart cooker (or 5-quart) and pour the remaining half of the marinade. Cover it up and cook the same for like 45 minutes. The flame should be on high throughout. Add shrimp after 20 minutes and continue till the 45-minute mark.
- Bring the cucumbers. Wash the cucumbers properly and cut thin slices on each end. Throw them away. Only use the middle section. Cut slices of half a centimeter thick. You can scoop the center.
- Apple cream cheese. Use cream cheese on the cucumber slices. Top it with shrimp and parsley or mint.
TIPS
You can use fresh mint for the garnish also instead of usual parsley.
