Ingredients

• 1 cup Mayonnaise
• 0.5 cup Sour cream
• 2 tablespoons Fresh lime juice
• 1 teaspoon Honey
• 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
• 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Smoked paprika
• 0.25 teaspoon Hot sauce
• 2 tablespoons Fresh dill, chopped
• 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley, chopped
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Water

Directions

Step 1

In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine mayonnaise and sour cream. Whisk until smooth and well incorporated.

Step 2

Add lime juice, honey, and Dijon mustard to the bowl. Mix until evenly combined.

Step 3

Sprinkle in the garlic powder, smoked paprika, and hot sauce. Stir thoroughly to ensure the spices are evenly distributed.

Step 4

Fold in the fresh dill and parsley, reserving a small amount of each for garnish, if desired.

Step 5

Season the dressing with salt and black pepper to taste. Give it one final stir.

Step 6

If the dressing is too thick for your preference, gradually stir in water, one tablespoon at a time, until the desired consistency is achieved.

Step 7

Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or transfer the dressing to an airtight container. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

Step 8

Serve drizzled over shrimp salad, or toss shrimp and greens directly with the dressing before serving. Optionally, garnish with reserved dill and parsley.
