👩‍🍳 Instructions

  1. Prepare the shrimp
    If shrimp aren’t cooked, boil in salted water for 2–3 minutes until pink.
    Drain and cool completely.
  2. Make the dressing
    In a bowl, whisk sour cream, mayonnaise, lemon juice, mustard, garlic, salt, and pepper until smooth.
  3. Assemble the salad
    In a large bowl, combine cucumbers, shrimp, red onion, and herbs.
    Pour dressing over and gently toss to coat.
  4. Chill & serve
