Servings: 4
Ingredients
- 1 lb. shrimp peeled and deveined
- 1 Tbsp olive oil
- 2 Tbsp chili paste
- 3 Tbsp ginger sesame dressing see below
- 2 Tbsp lime juice
- 3 cups shredded napa cabbage
- 2 cups shredded red cabbage
- 1 cup shredded carrots
- 1 cup sugar snap peas thinly sliced
- 1/4 cup fresh cilantro chopped
- 2 Tbsp fresh mint chopped
For the Ginger Sesame Dressing:
- 2 Tbsp rice vinegar
- 1 Tbsp reduced sodium soy sauce
- 1 clove garlic
- 1 Tbsp honey
- 1 Tbsp fresh ginger peeled and minced
- ¼ tsp. toasted sesame oil
- 3 Tbsp olive oil
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
- Toss shrimp with olive oil on a large baking sheet and bake for about 5 to 7 minutes, until shrimp are pink and cooked through. Remove from oven and set aside.
- To make the ginger sesame dressing, combine all ingredients in a small jar with a sealed lid and shake well until combined. I also use this jar to store any extra dressing to use for the week.
- To make the sauce for the shrimp, whisk together chili paste, 3 tablespoons of the ginger sesame dressing and lime juice. Add cooked shrimp and toss to combine; set aside.
- For the salad, combine shredded cabbage, carrots, snap peas, cilantro and mint in a large bowl and toss with the extra ginger sesame dressing. Top with cooked shrimp and enjoy!
- If making this salad for lunches, store the dressing in a sealed jar and drizzle over salad just before eating so salad stays fresh.
