Frequently Asked Questions About Shrimp tzatziki
How do you make shrimp tzatziki?

What is Shrimp tzatziki?
Shrimp tzatziki brings cooked shrimp together with a cool yogurt-and-cucumber mixture, usually seasoned with garlic and often dill or mint. It draws on the familiar Greek-style tzatziki, while adding seafood for a more substantial dip or small plate.
Serve it chilled with warm flatbread, crisp vegetables or grilled fish; it also works well as a mezze-style starter at a summer meal. The yogurt and shrimp make it a protein-rich choice, with 9.1 g of protein per 100 g. For a lighter, fresher bowl, use plain yogurt and plenty of cucumber, and add the shrimp shortly before serving.
