Snippy Shrimpish Salad

1. 1

   - Go through the shrimp and crab and pick out any nasty bits.

2. 2

   In a bowl, smoosh the smoked salmon cream cheese and sour cream together.

3. 3

   Clean the scallions.

4. 4

   Starting with the green end, slice thin rounds until you start hitting the white bulbs.

5. 5

   Stop, wrap the bulbs and save them for a tasty snack later.

6. 6

   Add the sriracha to the sour cream/cheese mix.

7. 7

   Itll be tea-party sandwich pink.

8. 8

   Stir in the scallions, shrimp and crab, coating all ingredients.

9. 9

   Slice the cucumber into 1/4 rounds.

10. 10

    I prefer my cucumbers unpeeled [please, no snickering], because it adds to the flavor and the integrity of the cucumber as a cracker.

11. 11

    Back to the snippy shrimp bowl.

12. 12

    Taste it.

13. 13

    Want a little more bite?

14. 14

    Add more sriracha.

15. 15

    Too thick?

16. 16

    Add a little more sour cream.

17. 17

    Now youve balanced the flavors in the bowl, time to release them into the wild.

18. 18

    Take a cucumber cracker and spoon a healthy dollop of the shrimp on top.

19. 19

    Repeat.

20. 20

    Finish the bites with a couple snips of chive on each [or maybe a little chopped radish if you still need to pink-it-up.]

21. 21

    ............................... Once youve made this, play with it.

22. 22

    Add some smoked salmon or add some firm, cooked whitefish.

23. 23

    Add chopped radish for a little bit of peppery crunch, or add some chopped jicama.

24. 24

    Oh, and did I mention that this also makes a mean sammie?
