Cucumber Shrimp Salad Ebi Sunomono

== Description ==
This is from a sushi feature in Sunset Magazine. But the shrimp in this salad isn't raw. It looked so good; I'm saving it here for later and sharing with you. The cucumbers become more flavorful, the longer you soak them. You need to chill it up to 2 hours, but 30 minutes at the very least.
=== Ingredients ===
* 8 ounces cooked peeled and deveined shrimp, tails removed (31 – 40 per pound 
* 2 English cucumber, about 1 1/2 pounds total, rinsed 
* 1/3 cup rice vinegar 
* 2 tablespoons Sugar 
* 2 teaspoons soy sauce 
* 1/3 cup unsalted dry roasted peanuts, chopped
== Directions ==
Rinse and drain shrimp then cut in half lengthwise – blot dry with papertowels to remove excess water. 
Slice the cucumbers thinly. 
In a pretty bowl, combine the vinegar, Sugar and soy sauce, then mix in the cucumbers and shrimp. 
Chill at least 30 minutes, up to 2 hours is best. 
Garnish with peanuts just before serving.
