Taste and adjustβ€”add more lemon for tang, more mayo for richness, or more dill for freshness.

Step 5 β€” Fold in the Shrimp

Add the shrimp to the veggie mixture and pour the creamy dressing over the top.

Use a soft spatula to gently fold everything together so the shrimp remain whole and the cucumbers stay crisp.

Step 6 β€” Chill Before Serving

Refrigerate for 20–30 minutes before serving.
This lets the flavors blend together, making the salad even more delicious.
