Creamy Dill Shrimp and Cucumber Appetizer

Creamy Dill Shrimp and Cucumber Appetizer is a super easy, low carb party or snack recipe. Boiled shrimp are tossed in a mixture of Greek Yogurt, mayonnaise, lemon juice, and Old Bay seasoning, plus chopped fresh dill.

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

This easy appetizer can be made in advance and is perfect for summer entertaining.

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.
