How to Make Thai Noodle Salad With Shrimp And Sugar Snap Peas

  1. Combine 1/2 cup peanut butter, 1 tablespoon grated ginger, 2 cloves minced garlic, 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes, 2 tablespoons fish sauce, and 2 tablespoons sugar in a food processor. Pulse until finely chopped, but do not overprocess.
  2. Add 2 tablespoons lime juice and pulse to combine.
  3. Add 1/2 cup packed basil leaves, 1/4 cup packed cilantro leaves, and 1/4 cup packed mint leaves. Pulse until finely chopped, scraping down the sides as needed.
  4. With the food processor running, slowly drizzle in 2 tablespoons sesame oil through the feed tube until the pesto is emulsified.
  5. Transfer the pesto to a bowl and set aside.
  6. Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Add 1 cup sugar snap peas and blanch for 1-2 minutes until bright green and crisp-tender. Immediately drain and rinse under cold water to stop the cooking process. Pat dry.
  7. Cook 8 ounces rice noodles according to package directions. Drain, rinse with cold water, and set aside to cool.
  8. In a large bowl, combine the cooked noodles, 1 cup cooked shrimp (peeled and deveined), the blanched sugar snap peas, and 1/4 cup thinly sliced scallions.
  9. Pour the peanut pesto over the noodle mixture, tossing gently to coat evenly.
  10. Garnish with 1/4 cup toasted peanuts and serve immediately or chill for later.
