Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 lb cooked shrimp, peeled and deveined chopped into small pieces
  • 0.5 cup mayonnaise
  • 0.25 cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice freshly squeezed
  • 1 tsp Dijon mustard
  • 0.25 cup fresh dill finely chopped
  • 2 tbsp red onion finely diced
  • 1 large cucumber sliced into 16 rounds, about 0.25 inch thick
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Method
 

Steps
  1. If using raw shrimp, bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Add shrimp and cook for 2–3 minutes until pink and opaque. Drain and rinse under cold water, then pat dry and chop into small pieces. Skip this step if using pre-cooked shrimp.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine mayonnaise, Greek yogurt, lemon juice, and Dijon mustard. Stir until smooth.
  3. Add chopped shrimp, dill, red onion, salt, and pepper to the dressing mixture. Gently fold together until well combined. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
  4. Arrange cucumber slices on a serving platter. Spoon about 1 tablespoon of shrimp salad onto each cucumber round.
  5. Serve immediately or chill for up to 2 hours before serving for best flavor.

Notes

For a lighter version, substitute full-fat mayo and yogurt with low-fat alternatives. These bites pair wonderfully with a crisp white wine or sparkling water with lemon. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
