Creamy Shrimp Cucumber Sandwich
I recently had a request for some recipes here on Pepper Scraps, now I’m the first one to admit I’m not the best cook out there. But sometimes I do a good job combining a few flavors and making something yummy. Today it was a very yummy light lunch: Creamy Shrimp Cucumber Sandwiches. 3 oz [...]
