### How to Make Creamy Cucumber Shrimp Salad

**1. Prepare the Shrimp and Cucumbers:**
If your shrimp isn’t cooked yet, boil or sauté it until pink and opaque. Let it cool. Thinly slice cucumbers — peel them if you prefer.

**2. Make the Dressing:**
In a small bowl, whisk together mayonnaise (or Greek yogurt), lemon juice, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper until smooth.

**3. Combine Ingredients:**
In a larger bowl, gently toss the shrimp, cucumbers, red onion, and fresh dill with the dressing. Mix until everything is well coated.

**4. Chill and Serve:**
Refrigerate the salad for at least 30 minutes to let the flavors meld. Serve chilled on its own, atop leafy greens, or stuffed into pita bread.

* For extra crunch, add celery or bell peppers.
