* Cucumber should be peeled and sliced very thin.

** Shrimp and crab meat are for garnish.

Sprinkle the cucumber slices with salt. Allow to stand at room temperature for 1 hour.

Gently squeeze slices until soft and pliable. Combine vinegar and sugar in a small bowl, stirring until sugar is dissolved. Add about half of the vinegar mixture to cucumber and toss lightly; drain.

Just before serving pour remaining vinegar mixture over cucumber slices.

Divide among individual serving bowls with sliced tomatoes, shrimp and crab meat.
