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
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

Steps:

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.

CRUNCHY ASIAN SESAME SALAD

Crunchy Asian Sesame Salad image

This salad is great. Light, crunchy and pleasantly nutty. After graduating from college this past May and being home looking for a job I got sick of eating the same things everyday so I threw this together for something lighter. I've included what I use below, but this salad lends itself to be pretty flexible. Would be great with sliced grilled chicken on top or shrimp might be good too, with a little squeeze of lime. One warning: this makes quite a lot of salad so unless you are feeding a crowd I wouldn't put the dressing on all of the salad at once... it won't keep (soggy lettuce, soggy crunchies, etc). A good solution would be to bag up single serving portions in ziplock baggies and then top with dressing and crunchies when ready to serve. You could even put them straight into the bag and shake to mix it up before putting on a plate.
