A vibrant and refreshing shrimp salad packed with flavors and the essence of Thai cuisine.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 4 cups mixed greens (or your favorite leafy greens)
  • 1 cup cucumber, thinly sliced
  • 1 cup carrots, grated
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • ½ cup fresh cilantro, chopped
  • Juice of 2 limes
  • 2 tablespoons fish sauce
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 1 small red chili, minced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced

Instructions

  1. Start by cooking the shrimp in boiling water until they turn pink, about 3-5 minutes. Don’t overcook them, or they’ll end up rubbery. Once done, cool them in cold water to stop the cooking process, then drain.
  2. In a large bowl, combine mixed greens, sliced cucumber, grated carrot, and halved cherry tomatoes.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together lime juice, fish sauce, sugar, minced chili, and minced garlic to create the dressing.
  4. Toss the shrimp and salad with the dressing and mix everything well.
  5. Garnish with fresh cilantro before serving.

Notes

For the best results, let the shrimp cool properly and mix the dressing just before serving to keep everything fresh and crunchy.
