Asian Noodle Salad with Fresh Shrimp

Method

• Clean and peel the shrimp.
• Cut the vegetables and set aside.
• Finely chop garlic, chili, coriander, and onion, cut the carrot into thin strips, halve the cherry tomatoes, and roughly chop the peanuts and mint.
• Place the rice vermicelli in a pot or salad bowl and pour over boiling water. Let sit for about 5 minutes, stirring the noodles a couple of times. Drain the noodles and rinse them in cold water.
• Make the dressing by mixing fish sauce, sugar, finely chopped garlic, and chili. Stir well.
• Prepare a large bowl and add the rice vermicelli, red onion, carrot, tomatoes, and shrimp.
• Sprinkle with coriander, mint, and peanuts, then pour over the dressing. Mix well. Adjust the taste with more fish sauce or lime as desired.
