Cajun Shrimp and Marinated Cucumber Salad

Preheat broiler to high. Place shrimp on a small rimmed baking sheet. Sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon of Cajun seasoning, lemon juice (or vinegar), 1 Tablespoon of oil (if using) and pinch or two of salt and black pepper. Place in the oven on the upper third rack. Broil for 3-5 minutes until shrimp is completely opaque and pink.

Meanwhile, place cucumber slices in a bowl and toss with remaining 1/2 teaspoon of Cajun seasoning, 2 Tablespoons of vinegar, 2 Tablespoons of olive oil (if using), and salt and pepper to taste. Divide cucumbers between two bowls, top each with half of the shrimp and a couple spoonfuls of pico de gallo.

Serves 2.

Notes:
1. If you’re making this ahead of time, the cucumbers get better the longer they sit. This salad is also great cold!
