Asian Shrimp Salad with Ginger Sesame Dressing

Step 1

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.

Step 2

Toss shrimp with olive oil on a large baking sheet and bake for about 5 to 7 minutes, until shrimp are pink and cooked through. Remove from oven and set aside.

Step 3

To make the ginger sesame dressing, combine all ingredients in a small jar with a sealed lid and shake well until combined. I also use this jar to store any extra dressing to use for the week.

Step 4

To make the sauce for the shrimp, whisk together chili paste, 3 tablespoons of the ginger sesame dressing and lime juice. Add cooked shrimp and toss to combine; set aside.

Step 5

For the salad, combine shredded cabbage, carrots, snap peas, cilantro and mint in a large bowl and toss with the extra ginger sesame dressing. Top with cooked shrimp and enjoy!

Step 6

If making this salad for lunches, store the dressing in a sealed jar and drizzle over salad just before eating so salad stays fresh.
