Thai Shrimp Salad Recipes

Steps:

• To brine shrimp, combine water, salt, sugar, and Kikkoman Soy Sauce in a large bowl, stirring to dissolve salt and sugar. Submerge 2 pounds of peeled and deveined shrimp in the brine. Brine for 1 hour.
• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
• Rinse shrimp. Place on a rimmed baking sheet in a single layer. Roast shrimp until done, 6 to 8 minutes.
• Whisk lemon juice, soy sauce, sesame oil, cayenne pepper, and garlic in a large bowl. Add peppers, cilantro, and shrimp; toss to coat.

Steps:

• Combine the sauce ingredients and whisk until well incorporated; set aside.
• Prepare the vegetables. The thick outer layers of the lemongrass should be peeled away and only the tender, bottom 1/3 of the stalk should be used. Slice the lemongrass, shallots, red onion and chili peppers very finely.
• Peel and devein the shrimp. Brush a bit of oil on both sides of the shrimp and grill until they're cooked through. This takes only a few minutes per side.
• Toss together vegetables in a bowl and pour over dressing, more or less to taste. Then add the grilled shrimp to the bowl while they are still hot and toss everything together. Serve immediately!

Steps:

• Cook the noodles as normal and prepare all the vegetables while the noodles are cooking. When they are done rinse under cold water and add to the salad.;
• Mix all of the ingredients together in a jam jar, shake and pour over the salad. Garnish with cashew nuts or sesame seeds.;

Steps:

• In a large bowl, combine the first 7 ingredients; set aside. Sprinkle shrimp with salt and pepper; thread onto 2 metal or soaked wooden skewers. , Place skewers on an oiled grill rack. Grill, covered, over medium heat or broil 4 in. from the heat until shrimp turn pink, 2-4 minutes., Stir the dressing; add the shrimp, onion and cucumber. Toss to coat. Divide lettuce between 2 salad plates; top with shrimp mixture and serve immediately.

Steps:

• In a big bowl, combine all ingredients except the shrimp.
• With your hands, squish the tomato to release some juice.
• Grill shrimp until cooked.
• Mix shrimp in the bowl with the rest of the ingredients.
• Serve on lettuce leaves.

Steps:

• Bring a pot of 3 quarts of water to a boil. (I like to salt the water like pasta water; Kanittanon does not add salt.)
• In a large bowl, combine the lime juice, fish sauce, sugar, nam prik pao and chopped chiles. Taste, and adjust with any of the ingredients, including salt. The sauce's flavor should be led by sourness and savoriness, but with a good balance of sweetness and heat.
• Cook the shrimp in the water until it just turns opaque, medium or medium-rare, about 1 minute. For better flavor, cook the shrimp with heads or shells on; peel when just cooled enough to handle.
• Add the shrimp to the sauce while still warm and toss; the lime will continue to "cook" the shrimp like a ceviche. Add the lemongrass, shallot, cilantro, mint leaves and makrut lime leaves, reserving a little of each herb for garnish. Toss, and place on a dish; scatter the reserved herbs on top. Serve immediately with hot rice.

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.
• Cut peel and white pith from limes with a sharp knife and discard. Cut lime segments free from membranes, then finely chop enough segments to measure 1/4 cup. Mince enough lemongrass from bottom 6 inches of stalks to measure 2 tablespoons total.
• Stir together chopped lime, minced lemongrass, lime juice, bell pepper, scallions, chiles, fish sauce (to taste), sugar, and salt until sugar is dissolved. Toss shrimp, tomatoes, and cucumbers with dressing and top with herbs.
