4 servings
Servings4
1 lb cooked shrimp, without shells
1/2 lb crayfish tails (can use extra shrimp instead)
1 tbsp fresh dill
2 tbsp chopped chives
1/2 lemon
6 tbsp sour cream (or crème fraîche)
5 tbsp mayonnaise
2 tbsp red fish roe (optional)

mayonnaise

🥗Healthier: Greek yogurt

💰Cheaper: sour cream

Greek yogurt reduces calories while maintaining creaminess

shrimp

🥗Healthier: crab meat

💰Cheaper: canned tuna

Canned tuna is more affordable and still provides a seafood flavor.

1

Rinse the shrimp and crayfish tails and pat dry with a paper towel.

2

Chop about half of the shrimp and crayfish tails into smaller bits. Set aside a handful of shrimp for garnish, if you wish.

3

Chop the dill and chives and mix together with the shrimp and crayfish in a large bowl. Add the zest of about half a lemon to the mixture.

4

In a separate bowl, whisk together the sour cream, mayonnaise, and about a tablespoon of lemon juice. Set aside the other half of the lemon for garnish.

5

Stir the dressing into the shrimp mixture. Add the fish roe and stir well.
