How to Make Lime & Chili Shrimp Salad

1. Heat Oil and Cook Shrimp

Begin by heating the peanut oil in a wok or large skillet over medium-high heat for about 1-2 minutes. Once the oil is hot, add the shrimp and stir-fry them until they turn pink, which should take another 1-2 minutes. Remove the shrimp from the heat and transfer them to a cutting board.

2. Slice Shrimp and Combine with Scallions

Slice the shrimp on the diagonal and place them in a shallow bowl. Add the thinly sliced scallions to the bowl with the shrimp.

3. Add Cucumber and Coriander

Take the English cucumber and julienne it into 1.5-inch lengths, then add these cucumber strips to the bowl. Sprinkle in the chopped coriander.

4. Add Chile and Toss

Add the minced cayenne chile to the bowl. Toss everything together lightly to ensure all the ingredients are evenly distributed.

5. Add Dressing and Season

Pour the fish sauce and fresh lime juice over the salad. Toss the mixture well to ensure the shrimp and vegetables are well-coated with the dressing. Taste the salad and add salt if needed.
