Ingredients

  1. 2 medium cucumbers, peeled and chopped
  2. 1/2 cup Greek yogurt
  3. 1 tablespoon fresh dill, chopped (plus extra for garnish
  4. 1 tablespoon lemon juice (plus lemon wedges for serving)
  5. 1/2 cup vegetable stock (or chicken stock)
  6. Salt and pepper to taste
  7. 2 teaspoons olive oil
  8. 6–8 scampi (depending on size)

Method

  1. In a blender or food processor, combine the chopped cucumbers, Greek yogurt, fresh dill, lemon juice, vegetable or chicken stock, salt, and pepper. Blend until smooth and creamy. Adjust seasoning to taste.
  2. Transfer the soup to a bowl or pitcher, cover, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, allowing it to chill and the flavours to meld.
  3. While the soup is chilling, heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the scampi and cook for 1-2 minutes on each side, or until pink and cooked through. Remove from the pan and set aside to cool slightly.
  4. Once the soup is chilled, ladle it into serving bowls. Top each bowl with a few cooked scampi, garnish with fresh dill, and serve with lemon wedges on the side.

Chef's Tip

For the freshest flavour and smoothest texture, chill the cucumber soup thoroughly before serving so the dill, lemon, and yogurt fully develop their bright, refreshing taste. The scampi should be cooked very quickly over high heat to keep the flesh sweet, delicate, and tender without becoming firm. Serve the scampi slightly warm against the cold soup for a beautiful contrast in temperature and texture that gives the dish a refined restaurant-quality finish.
