- 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

Wash, peel (if desired), and thinly slice the cucumbers.
Halve the cherry tomatoes and thinly slice the red onion.

In a small mixing bowl, whisk together Greek yogurt, sour cream, olive oil, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, garlic, and seasonings.
Whisk until smooth, creamy, and slightly tangy.
Step 4: Combine and Toss
Pour the dressing over the shrimp and veggies.
Toss gently until everything is evenly coated in that delicious, creamy sauce.

Cover and refrigerate for 20–30 minutes before serving for best flavor and texture.
Sprinkle with fresh dill or extra black pepper before serving.
Serve it cold and enjoy the burst of freshness with every bite. 🥒🦐✨

📜 History
Shrimp salads have been enjoyed in coastal kitchens for decades — from the beaches of the Caribbean to the shores of the Mediterranean. 🌊
This version draws inspiration from Northern European cucumber salads and American shrimp cocktails, combining the best of both worlds: fresh seafood meets cool crunch.
Over the years, cooks began adding creamy dressings to balance the acidity and enhance the richness — turning a simple shrimp salad into a satisfying, complete meal.
🏗️ Formation (How This Recipe Came to Be)
This salad came from one goal: to make something quick, healthy, and crave-worthy that doesn’t require cooking or complicated prep.
By combining cool cucumbers and tender shrimp, you get the perfect texture contrast.
Then the creamy, garlicky dressing pulls it all together — tangy, savory, and light.
It’s the kind of dish that looks fancy but takes only minutes — your go-to lifesaver for busy days, potlucks, or sunny picnics. ☀️
