Number Of Ingredients 15

1 lb large shrimp in shell (21 to 25 per lb), peeled
2 limes
3 small fresh lemongrass stalks, 1 or 2 outer leaves discarded *
2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
1/4 cup finely chopped red bell pepper
3 scallions, sliced crosswise 1/4 inch thick
2 (3-inch) fresh green chiles such as Thai or serrano, minced (including seeds)
3 to 4 teaspoons Asian fish sauce
1 tablespoon sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 lb beefsteak tomatoes, cut into 1-inch wedges
3/4 lb cucumbers, peeled and cut into 1-inch pieces
1/2 cup loosely packed fresh Thai anise basil leaves
1/2 cup loosely packed fresh Thai lemon basil leaves

Steps:

  • Cook shrimp in a 4-quart saucepan of boiling salted water until just cooked through, 1 to 2 minutes, then drain in a colander and cool.
