Ingredients
Preparation
1. In a food processor, finely chop the basil and celery leaves with the oil, but save a few leaves for the final decoration. Season with salt and pepper. Set aside.
2. Cook the shrimp for 3 minutes in boiling salted water. Drain and set aside.
3. Cut the cucumber into equal-length segments. Cut each segment into a round shape using a cookie cutter to form the cucumber bites.
4. Use a Parisian spoon to hollow out the center of each cucumber bite, removing excess seeds and making room to pour in the Sambuca.
5. Arrange the shrimp on top of each cucumber bite. Decorate with the herb pesto and a celery leaf.

Enjoy a refreshing appetizer with the cucumber and shrimp Sambuca. A subtle mixture of basil and celery in a puree forms an aromatic base to welcome tender shrimp on cucumber bites, enhanced by a touch of anise-flavored liqueur. This is a winning preparation for parties or dinners with friends.
