Shrimp salads are not only tasty, but also healthy dishes. The beneficial properties of shrimp are due to the content of vitamins D, E, A, PP, B12, copper, iron, phosphorus, magnesium, sodium, and potassium. The presence of amino acids, iodine and sulfur in them contributes to the activation of the growth of body cells, as well as the harmonious functioning of all organs and systems. These beneficial substances also have a beneficial effect on the condition of the skin, nails and hair.
Due to the low calorie content, shrimp can be used in the diet. In addition to calories, shrimp contain a substance such as astaxanthin, which is responsible for the color of the crustacean.

I really like to cook salads - it's a lot of room for imagination: combine ingredients, experiment with dressings, try different forms of serving ... At the same time, I have favorite recipes: salads that I cook very often without any changes - they are so successful . With one of these recipes, I want to introduce you today. Please love and favor - salad with shrimp and cucumbers.
It turns out very tender, very light and very tasty! Cucumber gives a special charm to the salad: in the company of shrimp, it feels just fine. And the rest of the ingredients also do not stand out from the general range and sound clearly in unison ... But let me tell you everything in order.
Ingredients:
for 1 serving:
- 10-12 medium sized shrimp;
- 0.5 small cucumber;
- 1 egg;
- 30 g of hard cheese;
- greens for decoration.
For refueling:
- 2 tsp sour cream;
- 2 tsp mayonnaise;
- dill greens.
Step by step recipe with photo:
For the salad we need - not royal. And the most ordinary, medium size. It makes no sense to buy large shrimp - after all, we will still cut them for salad. Our stores sell shrimp that are ready to eat, that is, already boiled, but then frozen. It is very convenient - you do not have to mess around with them for a long time.
We just need to defrost the shrimp. To do this, put them in a deep plate and pour hot water for 3-4 minutes. After this procedure, the shrimp will be completely defrosted.
Now we can clean them without much hassle.
Cut the shrimp into small pieces, approximately 0.5 cm in length. You can put whole shrimp in the salad (after all, they are not very large), but it seems to me that it will be more accurate.
Grate hard cheese on a medium grater.
Hard-boil the egg - cook in boiling water for 10 minutes to harden both the protein and the yolk.
Cool the egg, peel and cut in half. Then we take out the yolk from the protein: we will need them separately. 
Three yolks on a medium grater.
We do the same with protein.
Now it's time for the salad dressing. To do this, put sour cream and mayonnaise in a separate container.
Then add finely chopped dill to them in the company.
Mix all the ingredients for the dressing and it's ready.
Now let's start assembling the salad. We will prepare it in the “salad-cocktail” format, so we will need glassware - a glass, a verrin glass or a small bowl. The first layer of lettuce is grated cheese.
Spread a quarter of the total amount of dressing on top of the cheese.
The second layer is cucumber.
After it, we put the dressing again.
The third layer is shrimp.
And again the turn of refueling.
The fourth layer is grated protein.
We spread the remaining dressing after the protein.
And the last, fifth layer is grated yolk.
Our cocktail salad is ready.
It remains only to decorate it with herbs (parsley or dill) and you can serve.
Tips & Tricks:
Some people don't really like to peel shrimp because they don't know how to do it simply and easily. I'll be happy to tell you how I do it. First, tear off the head of the shrimp, then open the shell on the abdomen and carefully remove it. And lastly, remove the tail. That's all, a couple of seconds - and the shrimp is completely cleaned. For those who do not want and cannot, no matter what, peel shrimp on their own, already peeled shrimp are sold in supermarkets. The price for them, of course, is much more than for shelled shrimp, but for some this is a way out. 
Try to use cheese of traditional varieties - "Russian", "Dutch", "Poshekhonsky", with a classic taste. Indeed, in this dish, cheese does not play the main role, but only is an addition to the rest of the ingredients. Therefore, it is not necessary that it stands out strongly against the general background as a sharp spot.
And for this salad, and for other dishes, I advise you to buy eggs from domestic chickens: they have a completely different yolk color - bright, rich orange. This is much more appetizing than the pale, bluish yolk from store-bought eggs.
For this salad, I took a fresh cucumber, but if you don’t have it on hand, and you want to cook a salad, you can replace it with canned one. Its piquant taste will only decorate the salad, and will not spoil it at all. 
And one more note. Many people love shrimp, but still some do not cook with them at all. In this case (if you still want to cook a similar salad), I advise you to replace them with other seafood: squid, mussels (you can use). The easiest and most affordable replacement option is crab sticks. I've made both, and it's delicious.

Salad with shrimp, egg and Mimosa cheese is not so common on our tables. Just once I tried this dish in a cafe and decided to repeat it at home. It turned out to be quite easy, and the taste of the salad was completely renewed and became very tasty. Many hostesses are accustomed to cooking from canned fish, but shrimp is no worse, and even better. Everyone loves shrimp, and in a salad they harmonize perfectly with other ingredients.
Required products:
- shrimp - 150 grams;
- chicken eggs - 2 pcs.;
- potatoes - 200 grams;
- cheese - 150 grams;
- carrot - 150 grams;
- a little salt;
- mayonnaise to taste.
Step by step recipe with photo:
Wash potatoes and boil until soft. I cook in the peel, as I washed the root crops well. Then just clean them up and that's it. 
Boil eggs. To cook the yolk, let the eggs boil for 8-9 minutes. But no more, because then the yolk will begin to turn blue. 
Boil shrimp in salted water. 
Remove the shell, tails and head.
Grate raw carrots through a fine grater.
We form a salad using a culinary ring or a cut plastic bottle. Lay boiled shrimp on the bottom.
We rub the eggs on the track and distribute them on the shrimp.
Drizzle each lettuce layer with a thin layer of mayonnaise.
Three boiled potatoes through a grater.
And lay the next layer on the salad.
Spread the carrots over the surface. We don't boil it. Just rub it down a little. Drizzle with a thin layer of mayonnaise
The ingredients should be felt in the salad, and not just mayonnaise. Rub the cheese again through a fine grater.
Sprinkle the top of the salad with cheese. Lastly, lubricate.
You can additionally decorate the dish with shrimp on top to make an amazing impression.
The layers can be repeated again if you make a salad with shrimp, egg and cheese in a large form for a large company.
Decorate the dish with dill sprigs.
