Steps:
- Cook the shrimp: Fill a large bowl with water and add plenty of ice; set aside. Fill a large pot halfway with water. Add 1/4 cup dill, 2 smashed garlic cloves, a nice pinch of salt and a few grinds of pepper. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to medium low and simmer until fragrant, about 5 minutes. Add the shrimp; remove the pot from the heat and let sit, stirring occasionally, until the shrimp is pink and opaque, 2 to 3 minutes. Drain and transfer to the ice bath to cool.
- Combine the remaining 1 cup dill, 1 grated garlic clove, the mayonnaise, sour cream, yogurt, cucumber, onion, lemon zest and sugar in a large bowl. Taste, then season with a pinch of salt and a few grinds of pepper.
- Remove the shrimp from the ice bath, dry gently with a paper towel and coarsely chop. Stir into the dressing until combined.
- Cut the iceberg lettuce into 4 wedges. Tear the first few layers from the center of each wedge to create a "bowl" in the wedge; divide among plates. Fill the lettuce bowls with the shrimp salad, letting it spill over the wedge. Garnish with chopped dill. Serve cold or at room temperature.

Tips:
- Use fresh shrimp. Fresh shrimp have a sweeter, more delicate flavor than frozen shrimp. If you must use frozen shrimp, thaw them completely before using.
- Cook the shrimp properly. Overcooked shrimp are tough and rubbery. To prevent this, cook the shrimp for no more than 2-3 minutes per side, or until they are opaque and pink.
- Use a good quality mayonnaise. The mayonnaise is the base of this salad, so it's important to use a good quality mayonnaise that you enjoy the taste of.
- Add your favorite herbs and spices. This salad is a great way to use up fresh herbs and spices. Some good options include dill, parsley, chives, garlic powder, and onion powder.
- Serve the salad immediately. This salad is best served immediately after it is made. The shrimp will toughen up if the salad is left to sit for too long.
Conclusion:
Creamy shrimp and dill salad is a delicious and easy-to-make salad that is perfect for a light lunch or dinner. It's also a great way to use up leftover shrimp. The combination of shrimp, mayonnaise, and dill is classic, and the sweetness of the shrimp pairs perfectly with the tangy dill. This salad is sure to be a hit at your next party or potluck.
