# Ingredients:

→ Seafood

01 - 900 grams shrimp, peeled and deveined

→ Vegetables

02 - 1 English cucumber, small diced
03 - 3 green onions, thinly sliced

→ Dressing

04 - 80 millilitres mayonnaise
05 - 80 millilitres sour cream
06 - Zest and juice of 1 large lime (approximately 2 teaspoons zest and 30 millilitres juice)
07 - 2 tablespoons fresh dill, chopped
08 - 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
09 - 1 garlic clove, minced
10 - 0.25 teaspoon kosher salt
11 - Freshly ground black pepper, to taste

# Steps:

01 - In a bowl, combine mayonnaise, sour cream, lime zest, lime juice, chopped dill, Dijon mustard, minced garlic, kosher salt, and freshly ground black pepper. Whisk until smooth, then refrigerate to chill.
02 - Bring a large pot of water to a rolling boil. Add shrimp and cook for 2 to 3 minutes, or until shrimp are opaque and pink.
03 - Prepare an ice water bath during cooking. Use a skimmer to transfer cooked shrimp directly to the ice water to stop cooking. Chill for 3 minutes, then drain well in a colander. Cut shrimp into bite-sized pieces.
04 - In a large mixing bowl, gently fold together the chopped shrimp, diced cucumber, sliced green onions, and prepared dressing until evenly coated and creamy.

# Additional Notes:

01 - For maximum flavor, use a juicy lime; if using smaller limes such as Mexican or Persian, two may be required.
