Author: LydiaF

Ingredients

For the dressing

  • 3 tablespoons mayonnaise
  • 3 tablespoons sour cream, creme fraiche or plain greek yogurt (I used yogurt)
  • 3 tablespoons or more chopped fresh dill save some for garnish
  • 1 tablespoon finely chopped onion
  • dash of hot sauce (I used tabasco)
  • a generous squeeze of lemon
  • salt and pepper to taste

For the rest

  • 1 pound 500 grams medium shrimp, cooked and peeled
  • 2 slices brown bread or pumpernickel or rye
  • 2 hard boiled eggs sliced
  • jarred asparagus spears

Instructions

  • Stir the dressing ingredients together in a bowl large enough to hold the shrimp.
  • Taste and adjust the seasoning.
  • Stir in the cooked shrimp and transfer to the fridge for a half an hour.
  • To serve, use a slotted spoon to remove the shrimp from the dressing.
  • Toast the bread if you like then arrange on a plate and spread some of the extra dressing on the bread.
  • Arrange the sliced hard boiled eggs and asparagus on top then pile the shrimp salad high. Garnish with dill. Serve with a knife and a fork.
