How to Make Southeast Asian Cabbage And Shrimp Salad

  1. **Make the dressing:** In a small bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup rice vinegar, 2 tablespoons soy sauce, 2 tablespoons peanut butter, 1 tablespoon honey, 1 tablespoon lime juice, 1 teaspoon sesame oil, 1/2 teaspoon grated ginger, and 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes until the honey and sugar dissolve completely.
  2. **Prepare the shrimp:** Cook 1 pound of shrimp according to package directions, or until pink and opaque. Set aside to cool slightly, then chop into bite-sized pieces.
  3. **Assemble the salad:** In a large bowl, combine 8 cups shredded green cabbage, 1/2 cup chopped red bell pepper, 1/2 cup chopped carrots, 1/4 cup chopped cilantro, and the cooked shrimp.
  4. **Dress and toss:** Drizzle the dressing over the salad and gently toss to coat evenly.
  5. **Garnish and serve:** Sprinkle with 1/4 cup roasted peanuts. Garnish with fresh mint sprigs, if desired. Serve immediately for best results.
