Step 1:

How do you make a salad with shrimp, egg, and cucumber? Gather the ingredients. Take the shrimp out of the freezer right before cooking. It's better to use a cheese with a mild flavor.
Step 2:

Hard-boil the eggs. How do you hard-boil eggs? To keep the eggs from cracking while they cook, put them in cold water and set them over low heat. Boil the eggs for 9 minutes after the water comes to a boil, then cover with cold water and cool. The sharp temperature change makes the shells easier to peel. Peel the cooled eggs and cut them into small cubes. Put the prepared eggs in a deep bowl.
Step 3:

Cut the hard cheese into small cubes. Not too big. Add it to the chopped eggs. It's better to cube the cheese than to grate it - the salad will look prettier and neater.
Step 4:

Wash and dry the fresh cucumbers. Cut them into small cubes as well. Add them to the other prepared ingredients.
Step 5:

Take the frozen shrimp out of the package and drop them into boiling salted water for 1-2 minutes. Tip them into a colander. Don't cook the shrimp any longer - they'll turn rubbery. Peel the cooled shrimp: pull off the tails and heads and remove the shells. If the shrimp are large, you can cut them in half. Add them to the bowl with the salad.
Step 6:

Add salt to taste and the mayonnaise, and mix. The salad is ready - you can serve it. Enjoy!

The salad looks neat and pretty if you cut all the ingredients into pieces of the same size and shape (cubes, for example).
Make salads only from fully chilled ingredients. A salad made from warm ingredients can spoil quickly.
It's better to make the mayonnaise yourself - it's tastier and better for you. See some interesting homemade mayonnaise recipes here. You can also use sour cream or plain yogurt as a dressing instead of mayonnaise. Use them on their own or mix them with mayonnaise in any ratio you like - this will cut the dish's calories.
