Shrimp & Cucumber Leprechaun Bites
I grew up loosely Irish. My sister and I called it “Irish-ish.” This recipe comes from my mother and was part of many of our St. Patrick’s Day celebrations. This simple, light appetizer always disappears immediately. It is a nice balance to the heavier traditional St. Patrick’s Day dishes that are usually served.
