How to Make Thai Style Spring Roll Salad With Red Curry Shrimp

  1. **Marinate the Shrimp:** In a medium bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons red curry paste, 1 tablespoon brown sugar, 1 tablespoon vegetable oil, and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Add 1 pound shrimp (peeled and deveined) and toss to coat. Marinate for 15 minutes.
  2. **Prepare the Vinaigrette:** In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons rice vinegar, 1 tablespoon lime juice, 1 tablespoon fish sauce, 1 tablespoon brown sugar, and 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes. Gradually whisk in 3 tablespoons vegetable oil until emulsified. Set aside.
  3. **Cook the Noodles:** Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Add 8 ounces rice noodles and cook according to package directions until tender. Drain and rinse with cold water to prevent sticking. Set aside.
  4. **Prepare the Vegetables:** Chop 1 cup shredded carrots, 1 cup shredded red cabbage, 1/2 cup chopped cilantro, and 1/2 cup bean sprouts. Keep vegetables separate until assembly.
  5. **Cook the Shrimp:** Heat 1 tablespoon vegetable oil in a skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat. Add the marinated shrimp and cook for 5-7 minutes, or until pink and cooked through. Set aside.
  6. **Prepare Wonton Strips (optional):** Slice several wonton wrappers into thin strips. Fry in hot oil until golden brown and crispy. Drain on paper towels. (Alternatively, use 1/2 cup chow mein noodles for crunch).
  7. **Assemble the Salad:** Divide the rice noodles, carrots, red cabbage, cilantro, and bean sprouts evenly between two plates. Top with the cooked shrimp and crispy wonton strips (or chow mein noodles).
  8. **Dress and Serve:** Drizzle the vinaigrette over the salad and toss gently to combine. Garnish with extra cilantro or lime wedges, if desired. Serve immediately and enjoy!
