Slice the cucumber into thin rounds or half-moons, depending on your preference.
In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, prepared horseradish, lemon juice, chopped dill, salt, black pepper, and olive oil to create the dressing. Adjust seasoning to taste if needed.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the shrimp and cucumber slices. Pour the horseradish mayo dressing over the mixture and toss gently to ensure everything is evenly coated.
Prepare a serving platter or individual plates with a bed of mixed greens or lettuce.
Spoon the shrimp and cucumber mixture over the greens.
Optional: Garnish with additional chopped dill or a wedge of lemon for extra freshness.
