Creating Cucumber Shrimp Salad can be both fun and easy if you follow these simple steps:

1. Cook the Shrimp: In a pot of boiling salted water, add the shrimp. Cook for 2-3 minutes or until they turn pink and opaque. Drain and rinse with cold water to stop the cooking process.
2. Prepare the Dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, lime juice, honey, salt, and pepper until well combined.
3. Combine Ingredients: In a large bowl, add the cooled shrimp, sliced cucumbers, cherry tomatoes, red onion, and cilantro. If using, add avocado for added creaminess.
4. Dress the Salad: Pour the dressing over the salad and toss gently to coat all the ingredients evenly.
5. Chill: Allow the salad to sit for about 10 minutes before serving. This helps the flavors meld beautifully.
6. Taste and Adjust: Give it a taste and add more salt or lime juice, if necessary, to suit your preference.

These steps will guide you to making an incredible Cucumber Shrimp Salad that astonishes both you and your guests!
