Run the tines of a fork down the length of an unpeeled cucumber, all the way around. Slice into 1/8-inch thick coins. Drain on paper towels or a flour sack towel.
Mix a can of drained baby cocktail shrimp with enough mayonnaise to hold the shrimp together. Add very finely minceded scallions to the mixture. A tiny bit of lemon juice might be a nice touch, too.
Seasonings are totally at the cook's discretion. Heck, you could even use fresh shrimp, but I think the softer texture of the canned stuff lends itself better to spreading. Just my worthless opinion. ;o)
Spread shrimp mixture on the cucumbers. Garnish with something if you're feeling glamorous.

Are we talking straight down or are we going for a spiral look?
I vote spiral.

I'd mess it up if I tried it that way, but knock yourself out! Are you going to make these?
