Step-by-step cooking

Cooking time: 20 min

Step 1:
How to make a salad with shrimp, egg and cucumber? Prepare the necessary ingredients. Remove the shrimp from the freezer immediately before cooking. It is better to take cheese with a not pronounced taste.
Step 2:
Boil hard boiled eggs. How to cook hard-boiled eggs? So that the eggs do not crack when cooking, put them in cold water and put them to cook on a small fire. Boil the eggs for 9 minutes after boiling, then pour cold water and cool. From a sharp temperature drop, the shell will be better cleaned. Peel the cooled eggs from the shell and cut into small cubes. Put the prepared eggs in a deep bowl.
Step 3:
Cut the hard cheese into small cubes. Not very big. Add to the chopped eggs. It is better to cut the cheese, rather than grate it — the salad will look prettier and neater.
Step 4:
Wash and dry the fresh cucumbers. Cut into small cubes too. Add to previously prepared products.
Step 5:
Remove the frozen shrimp from the package and place it in boiling salted water for 1-2 minutes. Flip it into a colander. No need to cook the shrimp longer — they will become rubbery. Clean the cooled shrimp - tear off the tails, head and remove the shell. If the shrimp are large, then you can cut them in half. Put it in a bowl with salad.
Step 6:
Add salt to taste, mayonnaise, mix. The salad is ready, you can serve it on the table. Enjoy your meal!

The salad will look nice and neat if you cut all the ingredients into pieces of the same size and shape (for example, cubes).

Prepare salads only from fully chilled products. Cooked from warm, the salad can quickly deteriorate.

It is better to prepare mayonnaise yourself. It will be tastier and healthier. See here interesting recipes for homemade mayonnaise.
Also, as a dressing, you can use not only mayonnaise, but also sour cream or natural yogurt. They can be taken separately or mixed with mayonnaise in any proportion to your taste - this will reduce the calorie content of the dish.
