Rather like a deconstructed Thai Spring Roll. If you want to make it super easy, purchase pre-cooked shrimp from your deli counter. From Melissa Clark in the New York Times.

Ingredients

1 lb medium shrimp, shelled and deveined
3 tablespoons olive oil, extra virgin
1 1/2 tablespoons fish sauce
1 lime, zest and juice, plus lime wedges for serving
1 tablespoon light brown sugar
1 teaspoon Thai red curry paste
1 small shallot, very finely chopped
1/2 small green cabbage, cored and finely shredded (6 packed cups)
2 carrots, julienned
2 kirby cucumbers, very thinly sliced
1 cup unsalted dry roasted peanuts, coarsely chopped
1 cup cilantro leaf

Steps:

Step 1: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and fill a bowl with ice water. Add the shrimp to the boiling water and cook until pink and curled, about 1 minute. Drain the shrimp and transfer them to the ice water to cool. Drain and pat dry.
Step 2: In a large bowl, whisk the olive oil with the fish sauce, lime zest, lime juice, brown sugar, red curry paste and shallot. Add the cabbage, carrots, cucumbers and shrimp and toss until evenly coated. Let stand at room temperature for 20 minutes, until the cabbage is very slightly wilted. Toss the salad, top with the peanuts and cilantro and serve with lime wedges.

Categories dinner, quick, salads and dressings, main course

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

Ingredients

1 to 1 1/2 pounds shrimp
Salt
3 tablespoons nam pla (fish sauce) or soy sauce
1 tablespoon sugar
Juice of 2 limes
6 cups lettuce or mesclun, washed and dried
2 grapefruit, peeled and sectioned, tough white pith removed, each section cut in half
1/4 cup chopped mint
1/4 cup chopped cilantro
Minced chilies or dried red pepper flakes, optional
1/2 cup chopped dry-roasted peanuts, optional

Steps:

Put shrimp in a saucepan with salted water to cover; bring to a boil, then turn off heat and let sit for 5 minutes, or until shrimp are opaque in center. (Alternatively, grill or saute, sprinkling shrimp with salt as they cook.) Cool in refrigerator or under cold running water, then peel (and devein if you like). Cut shrimp in half if they're large.
Combine nam pla or soy sauce with 2 tablespoons water, sugar and lime juice, and blend or whisk until smooth.
Arrange the lettuce on 4 plates; top each portion with a few grapefruit pieces, some shrimp, and the mint and cilantro; drizzle with the dressing, then sprinkle with a little of the minced chilies and chopped peanuts if you like, or pass them at the table.
