VIETNAMESE-STYLE SHRIMP WITH CABBAGE & PEANUTS
When I saw this recipe on delish.com I knew I had to try it. I fixed it for dinner with company and it was a hit. I doubled the recipe so I would have enough and I had very little leftover. One young man asked for the recipe, then said, "I don't usually like salads, so when I ask for the recipe, that's a compliment." It has a kick to it, but oh so flavorful.

Steps:
- Pick over shrimp, discarding any pieces of shell. Cover and keep chilled until ready to toss the salad.
- Slice cabbage into chiffonade (very thin strips), about 1-2 inches long, to get 5 to 6 cups. Slice 12 cilantro sprigs very thin; reserve remaining sprigs for garnish. Keep everything chilled until ready to toss the salad.
- Mix vinegar, peanut oil, fish sauce, chile sauce, sugar, and ginger in a small bowl. Keep at room temperature for up to 2 hours, or cover and refrigerate if making ahead; let cold dressing come to room temperature before tossing with the salad.
- Just before serving, toss the shrimp, cabbage, sliced cilantro, carrot, and 6 tablespoons chopped peanuts with the dressing in a large bowl. Arrange lettuce leaves on a serving platter or in a large, shallow serving bowl. Mound the salad on the lettuce and garnish with the remaining 2 tablespoons peanuts and 8 cilantro sprigs.
