Ingredients
  

1 large cucumber

1 pound cooked shrimp, peeled and deveined

1/2 cup cream cheese, softened

1/4 cup Greek yogurt

2 tablespoons fresh dill, chopped (or 1 tablespoon dried dill)

1 clove garlic, minced

1 tablespoon lemon juice

Salt and pepper to taste

Lemon zest for garnish

1 tablespoon capers (optional)

Instructions
 

Start by washing the cucumber thoroughly. Slice it into 1/2 inch thick rounds and place them on a serving platter.

    In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, Greek yogurt, chopped dill, minced garlic, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Mix until smooth and well incorporated.

      Gently fold in the cooked shrimp, ensuring that they are evenly coated with the cream cheese mixture.

        Using a spoon or a piping bag, dollop a generous amount of the shrimp mixture onto each cucumber round.

          For an extra touch of flavor, sprinkle lemon zest over each bite and add a caper on top, if desired.

            Refrigerate the cucumber shrimp bites for about 15 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld.

              Serve cold and enjoy your refreshing appetizer!
