Ingredients
- 2 pounds Shrimp peeled and deveined
- 1 English cucumber small diced
- 3 green onions thinly sliced
Creamy Lime Dressing
- ⅓ cup mayonnaise
- ⅓ cup sour cream
- 1 large lime zested and juiced (about 2 teaspoons zest and 2 tablespoons juice)
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh dill
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 garlic clove minced
- ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
Instructions
- Make the dressing. To make the dressing, stir together the mayonnaise, sour cream, lime zest and juice, dill, mustard, garlic, salt, and pepper. Set aside or place in the fridge.
- Cook the Shrimp. Bring a pot of water to a boil. Add the shrimp and cook for 2 to 3 minutes, until cooked through and pink.
- Make an Ice Water Bath. While the shrimp are cooking, prepare an ice water bath. Remove the shrimp to the ice water bath using a skimmer. Let them cool for 3 minutes, then drain them in a colander. Chop them into bite-sized pieces.
- Stir it all together. In a mixing bowl, stir together the chopped shrimp, green onion, diced cucumber, and dressing, until creamy.
Notes
- Make sure you've got a good, juicy lime. If you have smaller Mexican or Persian limes, you may want to grab two of them.
