Cucumber Salad with Shrimp

Ingredients:

900 g shelled shrimp
1 large cucumber, finely chopped
Scallions, finely chopped

For the sauce:
⅓ cup mayonnaise
⅓ cup sour cream
1 large lime (about 2 teaspoons zest and 2 tablespoons juice)
2 tablespoons chopped fresh dill
1 tablespoon French DIJON mustard
1 clove garlic, minced
¼ teaspoon salt

Directions:

1. Prepare the salad dressing: mix the mayonnaise, sour cream, lime zest and juice, dill, mustard, garlic, salt and pepper. Set aside or refrigerate.
2. Bring a pot of water to a boil. Add the limes and cook for 2–3 minutes, until they turn pink.
3. While the shrimp are cooking, prepare a “bath” of cold water and, using a colander, transfer the cooked shrimp to it. Let cool for 3 minutes, then drain. Cut into bite-sized pieces.
4. In a bowl, combine the chopped shrimp, scallions, diced cucumber, and salad dressing.
