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.
