Instructions
Creating the Creamy Cucumber Shrimp Salad is a breeze when you follow these simple steps:
1. Cook the Shrimp: In a skillet, heat a little olive oil over medium heat. Add the shrimp and cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side until they turn pink and opaque. Season lightly with salt and pepper.
2. Let Shrimp Cool: Once cooked, set the shrimp aside to cool while you prepare the other ingredients.
3. Prepare Cucumbers: Dice the cucumbers into small pieces. For a crunchier texture, you can slice them with the skin on.
4. Make the Dressing: In a large bowl, combine the mayonnaise, Greek yogurt, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, and dill. Stir until well blended.
5. Combine Ingredients: Add the cooled shrimp and diced cucumbers to the bowl with the dressing. Gently mix until everything is coated evenly.
6. Season: Taste the salad and adjust seasoning with more salt, pepper, or dill, if desired.
7. Chill (Optional): For best flavor, refrigerate for 30 minutes before serving, allowing the flavors to meld together.
8. Garnish and Serve: Just before serving, garnish with freshly chopped parsley, if desired.
