Cooking and Preparation
- In a large pot, bring salted water to a rolling boil over medium-high heat. Carefully add the peeled and deveined large shrimp and cook for about 90 seconds if thawed or 3 minutes if frozen, until they are pink and opaque. Drain the shrimp in a colander and cool them completely by refrigerating for about 10-15 minutes.
- While the shrimp chill, in a large mixing bowl, add finely chopped celery, mayonnaise, sour cream, fresh chives, chopped dill, fresh lemon juice, Dijon mustard, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Whisk until smooth and creamy.
- Once the shrimp are chilled, gently fold them into the dressing. Add the thinly sliced English cucumber and mix well.
- Cover the mixing bowl with plastic wrap or a lid and refrigerate the salad for at least 30 minutes.
- After chilling, stir the salad gently, taste and adjust seasoning with salt, pepper, or lemon juice if necessary. Serve chilled in elegant bowls or on lettuce.
