Preparation

In a large skillet, melt 1 tbsp (15 mL) butter over medium-high heat. Sauté shrimp, in batches, just until pink, opaque and curled, about 4 min, adding more butter between batches. Transfer to a plate and refrigerate until chilled.

In a chilled bowl, combine cream, chili powder, salt and lime zest. Whip just until soft peaks form. Stir in lime juice. Chill for at least 30 minutes or for up to 2 hours.

Place a small dollop of whipped cream on cucumber slices. Place one shrimp on each and garnish with lime zest.
