ASIAN SHRIMP NOODLE SALAD



Asian Shrimp Noodle Salad image

This is the easiest of salads to prepare and it's healthy too with lots of fresh veggies and no oil. I think it tastes best if you let it marinate in the dressing for an hour or so but you can serve it right away as well. If you like a bit of kick, add some chopped hot chili peppers.

Tips:

  • Use fresh shrimp: Fresh shrimp have a sweeter flavor and more tender texture than frozen shrimp.
  • Devein and shell the shrimp: Deveining and shelling the shrimp will make them easier to eat and more appealing.
  • Cook the shrimp properly: Overcooked shrimp are tough and chewy. Cook them just until they turn pink and opaque.
  • Use a variety of vegetables: This salad is a great way to use up leftover vegetables. Feel free to add or remove vegetables based on your preferences.
  • Make the dressing ahead of time: The dressing can be made up to 24 hours in advance. This will save you time when you're ready to assemble the salad.
  • Serve the salad immediately: This salad is best served immediately after it is made. The shrimp will start to toughen up if the salad sits for too long.

Conclusion:

Chinese shrimp salad is a delicious and healthy dish that is perfect for a light lunch or dinner. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own preferences. With its vibrant colors and refreshing flavors, this salad is sure to be a hit at your next gathering.
