Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 large cucumber
- 250 grams shrimp, cooked and peeled
- 3 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 2 stalks green onion, finely chopped
- 1 tablespoon fresh dill, finely chopped
- 0.5 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon pepper
Instructions
Wash the cucumbers thoroughly and pat them dry.
Slice the cucumbers into 1/2-inch thick rounds, discarding the ends. Arrange them on a serving platter.
Chop the cooked shrimp into small pieces and place them in a medium bowl.
Add the mayonnaise, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, green onion, fresh dill, paprika, salt, and pepper to the bowl with the shrimp. Mix well until all the ingredients are evenly combined.
Using a spoon, dollop about a heaping teaspoon of shrimp salad on top of each cucumber round.
For added presentation, garnish the tops with a small sprig of dill or a light dusting of paprika, if desired.
Serve immediately for the best texture and flavor. If preparing ahead of time, store the shrimp salad and cucumber rounds separately in the refrigerator and assemble just before serving.
