Directions: |
Directions:To make the salad, marinate the shrimp in 1/2 c of the dressing. While this is going on, soak the noodles in boiling water according to package directions. Once re hydrated, refresh the noodles in cold water and drain. Put the snap peas and the bean spouts in a colander and pour freshly boiled water over them. Rinse with cold water and drain well.
In a large bowl, mix the marinated shrimp with the drained noodles, scallions snap peas, bean sprouts, and most of the cilantro. Dress with 2 T more of the dressing adding more to taste, if desired.
Arrange on a large platter and garnish with remaining cilantro. I also like to use chopped peanuts to garnish and lime wedges. |
