  • I learned to make this Greek dish in my early youth. I always loved shrimp and would collect any clippings from newspapers and wall calendars that had recipes for them. That's how I ended up with this easy recipe, and now I make cucumber-carrot shrimp salad all the time. It's simple to prepare, and the flavor is absolutely wonderful — which is why it's one of my favorites. I put frozen shrimp in the microwave on defrost for about fifteen minutes, then peel off the shells and pull the shrimp apart into strands. Meanwhile, I boil the potatoes and carrots together in one pot. Once they're cooked and cool enough, I cut them into small cubes. I dress half the vegetables with mayonnaise and mound them in the center of a dish, then arrange the shrimp on top. Around the rim I set the remaining potato and carrot cubes. I chop some dill and sprinkle it over this Greek culinary marvel. You can treat yourself to a little celebration anytime there's a package of shrimp in the freezer and this cucumber-carrot shrimp salad recipe on hand. This kind of food rarely leaves anyone unmoved, and seafood lovers are downright delighted, going back for seconds and thirds. More often than not you'll need to double the ingredients, though for a dinner among close friends this amount is usually plenty.
