  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons sour cream
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice

Instructions

  1. Cook the Shrimp: Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Season the shrimp with garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Cook shrimp for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until they turn pink and are fully cooked through. Remove from heat and allow the shrimp to cool.

  4.  Combine Ingredients: Once the shrimp has cooled, add it to the cucumber mixture. Pour the dressing over the salad and gently toss until everything is well coated.
  5.  Serve: Refrigerate the salad for at least 30 minutes before serving to let the flavors meld together. Serve chilled for a fresh, light dish.
