I grew up by the ocean and then moved to a landlocked state. I wanted to show people in my area how to easily cook seafood, and this is the recipe I came up with. I think it’s safe to say it has become a neighborhood favorite. —Amy Harris, Springville, Utah

Test Kitchen tips
  • Garnish with fresh mint instead of parsley for a brighter flavor.
  • Instead of plain cream cheese, use your favorite variety of flavored cream cheese.
  • If you're in a rush, skip scooping out the centers of the cucumber slices. While creating a shallow indention is helpful, it is not essential.
    • Health tip: You’ll love how light and fresh this slow-cooked appetizer tastes. Slim it down by using reduced-fat cream cheese.
