Garlic Shrimp Salad
This garlic shrimp salad is fresh, flavorful and easy to make! Choosing shell-on shrimp is the key to juicy plump texture!
Ingredients
- 1 pound shell-on large shrimp
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic finely chopped
- 2 teaspoons fish sauce
- 2 teaspoons sake (rice wine) or dry white wine
- 2 cups mixed salad leaves tossed in your favorite dressing packed
Optional toppings
- Crushed cashew nuts or peanuts
- Thinly sliced scallions
- Lime slices
Instructions
- Rub the salt into shrimp and set aside.
- Heat up the olive oil in a pan. Cook the garlic until fragrant.
- Add in the shrimp. Once the color starts to change, add the fish sauce and sake. Cook for another minute or so until the shrimp is fully cooked.
- Serve over tossed salad leaves. Optional: garnish with chopped scallions, crushed cashews and lime slices.
Notes
Try to look for the freshest type of shrimps. Often times, pre-frozen shrimp is over brined which makes the dish salty. If you can only find frozen 'easy peel' type, I suggest to decrease the amount of salt to ⅛ teaspoon, and start with 1 teaspoon of fish sauce - and add more after you try tasting one shrimp.
