Then they are arranged on top of cucumber slices for a low carb, low calorie finger food with plenty of protein.

The cucumber forms a crisp, cool base for the creamy shrimp mixture and the fresh dill wonderfully complements the shrimp.

Greek yogurt is wonderful to use when you want some creaminess but not the fat and calories of mayonnaise. Plus it adds extra protein which is always a good thing. I also really like it’s natural tanginess.

Using 1/2 cup of Greek yogurt and just 1/4 cup of mayonnaise makes a wonderfully tasting coating for the shrimp.
