Thai-Style Tomato and Shrimp Salad image

Wonderful summer salad from 2003 Gourmet. This has been a favorite of mine for a long time! COOKS NOTES:If you can't find Thai anise basil and Thai lemon basil, you can substitute Italian basil and lemon balm (the latter is available at farmers markets and specialty produce stores). Please note: this is an adopted recipe and I hope to make it soonest. If you make it before I do, I would appreciate feedback, Thanks ! ZWT REGION: Asia - Thai.

THAI SHRIMP LEMONGRASS SALAD



Thai Shrimp Lemongrass Salad image

The Thai chili paste is sweeter and has lemongrass in it. You may find it in your local Asian store, or even from your local Thai restaurant. To make regular chili paste, sauté oil with yellow onion and garlic until soft, then add chili powder and paprika for color. I would grill the shrimp for extra flavor. This makes a small appetizer for 2 people, or a nice sized one for one.

Categories     Salad     Food Processor     Pasta     Coconut     Basil     Macadamia Nut     Shrimp     Curry     Chill     Cabbage     Cilantro     Simmer     Boil     Bon Appétit

Yield Makes 6 first-course or 4 main-course servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

For dressing
3/4 cup (packed) coarsely chopped fresh basil
1/3 cup macadamia nuts, toasted
4 1/2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
1/2 cup plus 1 tablespoon olive oil (preferably extra-virgin)
For shrimp
1 cup canned unsweetened coconut milk
1 tablespoon Thai red curry paste
24 uncooked large shrimp (about 1 pound), peeled, deveined
2 ounces dried thin Chinese rice sticks (maifun) or angel hair pasta
4 cups thinly sliced Napa cabbage
4 cups thinly sliced bok choy leaves
1/2 cup chopped green onions
1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro
Fresh cilantro sprigs

Steps:

  • Make dressing:
  • Blend basil, nuts and vinegar in processor until nuts are finely ground. With machine running, gradually add oil and blend well. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Transfer to small bowl. (Dressing can be made 1 day ahead. Cover and refrigerate. Bring to room temperature before using.)
  • Make shrimp:
  • Whisk coconut milk and curry paste in medium saucepan over medium-low heat until blended; bring to simmer. Add shrimp and simmer until shrimp are almost opaque in center, about 3 minutes. Remove from heat. Refrigerate shrimp in curry liquid, uncovered, until very cold, about 2 hours.
  • Place rice sticks in medium bowl. Cover with very hot water. Let stand until tender, about 25 minutes. Drain rice sticks. (If using pasta, cook in pot of boiling salted water until just tender but still firm to bite. Drain well; rinse pasta with cold water and drain again.) Using knife or poultry shears, cut rice sticks or pasta into shorter (about 6-inch) lengths. Place noodles in medium bowl and toss with enough dressing to coat.
  • Combine cabbage, bok choy, green onions and chopped cilantro in large bowl. Toss with enough dressing to coat. Season with salt and pepper. Divide greens among plates. Top with noodles. Drain shrimp; place atop noodles, dividing equally. Garnish with cilantro sprigs. Pass any remaining dressing separately.

Tips:

  • Choose ripe, firm tomatoes: This will ensure that your salad is full of flavor and not watery.
  • Use fresh shrimp: Frozen shrimp can work in a pinch, but fresh shrimp will give your salad the best flavor and texture.
  • Don't overcook the shrimp: Shrimp cooks quickly, so be careful not to overcook it. Otherwise, it will become tough and rubbery.
  • Use a variety of herbs and spices: This will give your salad a complex and flavorful taste. Some good options include cilantro, basil, mint, lemongrass, ginger, and garlic.
  • Don't be afraid to adjust the flavors to your liking: If you like your salad spicier, add more chili peppers. If you prefer a sweeter salad, add more sugar or honey.

Conclusion:

Thai-style tomato and shrimp salad is a refreshing, flavorful, and healthy dish that is perfect for a summer meal. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. So next time you are looking for a light and healthy meal, give this salad a try.
