Thai-Style Shrimp Salad with Carrots, Peanuts & Green Curry DressingThai-Style Shrimp Salad with Carrots, Peanuts & Green Curry Dressing — a 30-minute lunch recipe with 12 ingredients, serving 6.Ingredients

3 avocados

1 ½ English cucumbers

1 small pkg fresh mint

3 limes

¾ cup peanuts, roasted unsalted

1.02 kg raw peeled shrimp, fresh or frozen

1 ½ (283 g) bags shredded carrots

3 (142 g) pkg spring mix (mixed greens)

90 ml Thai curry paste, green

brown sugar

salt

toasted sesame oil

Instructions

Wash and dry the fresh produce. (Skip the mixed greens if they came pre-washed.)

If using frozen shrimp, place them in the colander and run under cold water to thaw them slightly and remove any ice crystals. (If using fresh shrimp, skip this step.) Place the shrimp on a clean towel or paper towels and pat dry.

Place curry paste, oil, and salt in a large bowl; whisk to combine. Add shrimp and toss to coat.

Preheat a large skillet over medium-high heat.

Once the skillet is hot, add shrimp and cook until opaque, about 2 minutes per side. Remove from heat and set aside to cool slightly.

Meanwhile, pick mint leaves off the stems; discard stems and mince the leaves. Place in a clean large bowl.

Juice limes into the bowl with the mint. Add additional curry paste, oil, sugar, and salt; whisk to combine the dressing.

Trim and slice cucumbers into thin rounds. Add to the bowl with the dressing.

Halve and pit avocados; using a spoon, scoop out the flesh and medium dice. Add to the bowl.

Roughly chop peanuts and add to the bowl.

Add mixed greens and carrots to the bowl. Toss to combine the salad.

To serve, divide salad between plates or bowls and top with shrimp. Enjoy!
