Shrimp and Noodle Salad is a delicious, refreshing, and light dish perfect for a summer meal or a quick lunch. It's packed with flavors and textures, combining the crunchiness of fresh vegetables with tender shrimp and silky rice noodles. The dressing, made with peanut oil, lime juice, salsa sauce, and fish sauce, adds a tangy and slightly spicy kick that brings all the ingredients together beautifully.
- Soak the rice noodles in hot water for 5-7 minutes until they are soft, then drain and rinse with cold water to stop the cooking process.
- Blanch the asparagus briefly in boiling water for about 2 minutes, then transfer them to an ice bath to preserve their bright green color and crisp texture.
- Cook the shrimp until they are pink and opaque, which typically takes 2-3 minutes per side depending on their size.
- Slice the cucumber thinly and cut the scallions finely to ensure even distribution of flavors throughout the salad.
- Toss all ingredients together with the dressing just before serving to keep the vegetables crisp and the noodles from becoming soggy.
- Feel free to add other fresh herbs such as cilantro or mint for an extra burst of freshness.
This Shrimp and Noodle Salad is a delightful combination of fresh ingredients that is both healthy and satisfying. It's easy to prepare and versatile enough to be a light main course or a flavorful side dish. Remember to adjust the seasoning to your preference, and enjoy this vibrant and refreshing salad.
