Pepper-Shrimp-and-Noodle Salad with Crunchy Spring Vegetables image

Cold peanut noodles get a fresh reboot in this veg-forward entrée salad. After mixing thin spaghetti or ramen with a gingery sesame sauce, you fry garlic slivers for a crunchy garnish, then sizzle juicy shrimp in the same pan. Lastly, the salad: an aromatic bouquet of cucumber, radishes, cilantro, and mint.

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 tablespoons smooth natural peanut butter
2 tablespoons unseasoned rice vinegar
2 tablespoons reduced-sodium soy sauce or tamari
1 tablespoon pure maple syrup
1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
1 teaspoon hot sesame oil
1/2 cup vegetable oil
10 ounces wheat noodles, such as fresh or dry ramen, or thin spaghetti
1/4 cup very thinly sliced garlic (from 10 to 12 cloves)
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
12 ounces large shrimp, peeled and deveined
1 cup julienned English cucumber
1 cup julienned watermelon radishes or green radishes, or a combination
Fresh mint and cilantro leaves, for serving

Steps:

  • In a bowl, whisk together peanut butter, vinegar, soy sauce, maple syrup, ginger, and 2 teaspoons water. Whisk in sesame oil and 2 tablespoons vegetable oil to combine. Meanwhile, cook noodles in a pot of boiling water according to package instructions. Drain; rinse under cold water. Toss with half of dressing.

This salad is a great way to use up leftover shrimp. I had some shrimp leftover from a party, and I used it to make this salad. It turned out great! The shrimp was still flavorful, and the salad was light and refreshing.
