Here’s How!

 

  Poach the shrimps in simmering court bouillon until cooked - just a few minutes.  Remove from the cooking liquid and allow to cool.  Place cool shrimps back in the cool cooking liquid and refrigerate until required.  Shrimps can be cooked a day in advance.

  Prepare the zucchini by slicing them lengthwise into ribbons resembling fettuccini.  Steam in a microwave or stove-top steamer until tender crisp, cool.

  In a bowl, combine the buttermilk, sour cream, yogurt, dill, chives, Worcestershire sauce, black pepper and salt until well mixed.  Carefully stir in the zucchini.

  To serve, place some sauce coated zucchini on a plate and top with the chilled shrimp.  Side with a lemon or lime wedge and a sprig of dill.
