Comment préparer Spicy Thai Basil Lime Jumbo Shrimp Vietnamese Salad
- **Prepare the Shrimp Marinade:** In a large bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup nuoc cham, 2 tablespoons lime juice, 1 tablespoon sugar until sugar dissolves. Add 1/4 cup vegetable oil, 2 cloves minced garlic, 1/2 cup chopped Thai basil, and 2-3 Thai chilies, finely chopped (remove seeds for less heat). Optionally, blend until smooth.
- **Marinate the Shrimp:** Place 1.5 lbs jumbo tiger shrimp in a resealable gallon bag with the marinade. Seal, squeeze out air, and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, turning every 30 minutes.
- **Prepare the Vermicelli:** In a large bowl, cover 8 oz rice vermicelli noodles with cold water and let soak for 30 minutes until pliable. Cook in boiling water for 5 seconds, drain, rinse under cold water, and set aside.
- **Prepare the Scallions:** Heat 1 tablespoon vegetable oil in a small saucepan over medium heat. Add 4 scallions, thinly sliced, and cook until fragrant and lightly golden (about 5 minutes). Remove from heat and let cool.
- **Assemble the Salad Components:** On a large serving platter, arrange individual piles of: 1 cup shredded carrots, 1 cup shredded lettuce, 2 carambolas (star fruit), sliced, 1 cup cucumber, thinly sliced, and 1/2 cup fresh mint sprigs. Place 1/2 cup roasted peanuts in a separate bowl.
- **Grill the Shrimp:** Preheat grill to high heat. Remove shrimp from marinade (reserve marinade for drizzling). Grill shrimp for 2-3 minutes per side, until pink and golden brown.
- **Tableside Assembly:** Guests take vermicelli, carrots, cucumber, carambolas, lettuce, and mint, and toss in their individual bowls. Top with grilled shrimp, peanuts, and a drizzle of reserved marinade or extra nuoc cham.
