Creamy Dill Shrimp & Cucumber Appetizer Recipe for Summer Parties

Creamy Dill Shrimp and Cucumber Appetizer is an easy, low‑carb party or snack recipe. Boiled shrimp are tossed in a light dressing made from nonfat Greek yogurt, light mayonnaise, lemon juice, Old Bay seasoning, and fresh chopped dill.

Arrange the coated shrimp on cucumber slices for a crisp, refreshing finger food that’s low in calories and high in protein. This appetizer is simple to prepare ahead of time and is ideal for summer gatherings.

The cucumber provides a cool, crunchy base while the dill brightens the shrimp mixture. Using Greek yogurt keeps the coating creamy with less fat and more protein than using mayonnaise alone, and its natural tang balances the flavors. Combining 1/2 cup Greek yogurt with 1/4 cup light mayonnaise makes a tasty, lighter dressing for the shrimp.
