VIETNAMESE GARLIC SHRIMP (PRAWN) NOODLE SALAD
This is a great, fresh salad with a fantastic Vietnamese dressing based on a recipe by Bill Granger, a famous Australia chef. I really like this dressing because it's got plenty of flavour but the fish sauce is mild in it. I love Nuoc Cham, which is the classic Vietnamese dipping sauce that doubles as dressings. But some people find that the fish sauce flavour is too strong. Plus, it's an art form to get the flavour balance right!

Steps:
- Combine the Garlic Shrimp ingredients in a small bowl and set aside for 10 minutes.
- Combine the Dressing ingredients in a small jar, give it a shake then set aside for 10 minutes.
- Heat a skillet / fry pan over high heat. Add the shrimp, scraping in the olive oil and garlic from the sides of the bowl. Cook for 2 minutes, or until browned and the shrimp is just cooked through. (Note 2)
- Remove the prawns from the skillet onto a plate.
- Prepare the vermicelli noodles according to the packet directions. I like to just soak them in hot tap water for a few minutes, this ensures they don't overcook. Then drain the noodles.
- Arrange the noodles and remaining Salad ingredients on a large plate (like the photo) or toss together in a bowl. Top with prawns (warm or at room temperature). Drizzle over the Dressing (or toss through), or you can serve the Dressing on the side.
- Serve immediately.

BEAN-THREAD NOODLE AND VEGETABLE SALAD
Steps:
- Make dressing:
- In a small saucepan stir together all dressing ingredients except sesame oil until cornstarch is dissolved. Bring dressing to a boil, stirring, and simmer, stirring constantly, 1 minute. Cool dressing completely and stir in sesame oil. Dressing may be made 2 days ahead and chilled, covered.
- Discard mushroom stems and cut caps into thin slices. In a large non-stick skillet heat vegetable oil over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking and sauté mushrooms, stirring frequently, until just tender, about 5 minutes. On a platter chill mushrooms in one layer 15 minutes, or until cool.
- In a saucepan bring 6 cups water to a boil and remove pan from heat. Stir in noodles and soak 15 minutes. Drain noodles well in a colander and with scissors cut into 6-inch lengths.
- While noodles are soaking, cut cabbage crosswise into fine shreds and snow peas diagonally into slivers. Cut bell pepper into julienne strips.
- In a large bowl toss together noodles, mushrooms, bell peppers, carrots, scallions, and dressing. Serve salad sprinkled with sesame seeds.
Tips:
- For the prawn salad, choose large, fresh prawns with firm, translucent flesh. Avoid prawns that are brown or have black spots.
- To devein the prawns, use a sharp knife to make a shallow incision along the back of the prawn, from the head to the tail. Remove the vein with your fingers or the tip of the knife.
- Cook the prawns in a hot pan with a little oil until they are pink and opaque. Do not overcook, as this will make them tough.
- For the dressing, use fresh lime juice and fish sauce. If you don't have fish sauce, you can substitute soy sauce, but the flavor will be slightly different.
- Add the noodles to the salad at the last minute, so they don't become soggy.
- Serve the salad immediately, or chill it for later.
Conclusion:
This prawn salad is a delicious and healthy meal that is perfect for a summer lunch or dinner. It is also a great way to use up leftover prawns. The combination of sweet prawns, tangy lime dressing, and crunchy bean thread noodles is sure to please everyone at the table.
