Instructions
- 1Place a steamer basket in a large pot. Fill the pot with about 1 inch of water, making sure there are at least two inches between the bottom of the basket and the waterline. Cover the pot and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce the heat to medium and add the shrimp. Steam, covered, for 4 to 6 minutes, or until the shrimp are opaque and cooked through. Meanwhile, fill a large bowl with ice water. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the shrimp to the ice bath. Let sit for 5 minutes to stop the cooking, then drain.
- 2Make the dressing. In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, yogurt, olive oil, garlic, dill, vinegar, salt, pepper, and sugar.
- 3Make the salad. Place the Romaine on a serving platter. Top with cucumbers, eggs, and avocado. Pat the shrimp dry with a clean kitchen towel. Season the shrimp with remaining ¼ teaspoon salt and add on top of the salad. Drizzle the salad with dressing and dill if using. Sprinkle eggs with flaky salt to serve.
