How to Make Spicy Thai Shrimp Salad
- Prepare the lemongrass: Using only the tender bottom of a lemongrass stalk, slice it paper-thin (approximately 2-3 stalks).
- Thinly slice the shallots (1/2 cup), red onion (1/4 cup), and Thai chilies (2-3, depending on desired heat level). The finer the slices, the better the flavor integration.
- Prepare the salad greens (approximately 5 oz mixed greens, such as butter lettuce and romaine). Wash and dry thoroughly.
- Prepare the shrimp (1 lb large shrimp, peeled and deveined): Marinate in a mixture of soy sauce (1 tbsp), fish sauce (1 tbsp), and sugar (1 tsp) for at least 15 minutes. Then grill the shrimp until pink and opaque (approximately 3-5 minutes per side).
- Whisk together the dressing: In a small bowl, combine lime juice (3 tbsp), fish sauce (2 tbsp), brown sugar (2 tbsp), soy sauce (1 tbsp), and a pinch of red pepper flakes. Adjust to your taste preference.
- Assemble the salad: Gently toss the greens with the lemongrass, shallots, red onion, and chilies.
- Add the hot grilled shrimp to the salad.
- Drizzle the dressing generously over the salad and toss gently to combine.
- Serve immediately and enjoy!
