Step 1
Start by preparing the cucumber. Wash it thoroughly and trim off the ends. Cut the cucumber into 2-inch thick slices.

Step 3
In a mixing bowl, combine the crab meat, red bell pepper, jalapeno pepper, approved mayonnaise, sea salt, and pepper. Mix well until all the ingredients are evenly combined.
Step 4
Spoon the crab mixture into the hollowed cucumber cups, filling them generously.
Step 5
Garnish with freshly chopped cilantro.
Step 6
Arrange the stuffed cucumber cups on a serving platter.
Step 7
Serve immediately as an appetizer or light snack.
