1/2 cup dry white wine
2 cups water
1 tablespoon kosher salt
12 medium shrimp, heads removed
6 slices white sandwich bread, very thin crusts removed
3 ounces Shallot-Parsley Butter
1 seedless cucumber
1 small fresh dill bunch sprigs removed
Place wine, water and salt in medium saucepan over medium heat and bring to a simmer. Add shrimp and cook, covered, until shrimp are opaque and cooked through, about 1 minute. Drain shrimp, set aside to cool, peel and devein.
Preheat oven to 300 degrees. Arrange bread slices on baking sheet; transfer sheet to oven and bake 5 to 7 minutes on each side, or until bread has dried out and is slightly toasted. Cool toast on wire rack.
Bring Shallot-Parsley Butter to room temperature before using. Spread each slice with shallot-parsley butter. Using a mandoline or vegetable peeler, thinly slice cucumber. Place 2 cucumber slices side by side to cover surface of bread slice. Arrange sprigs of dill over cucumber. Cut 2 shrimp in half lengthwise and evenly space the 4 shrimp halves on the slice. Cut each piece of bread into quarters. Repeat with remaining ingredients and serve.
