GRILLED SHRIMP AND NOODLE SALAD

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add the noodles and cook as the label directs; drain and rinse with cold water.
• Meanwhile, whisk the lime juice, fish sauce, brown sugar, garlic, chili sauce and 1/3 cup water in a medium bowl. Transfer 1/4 cup of the marinade to another bowl and toss with the shrimp. Toss another 1/4 cup marinade with the asparagus and mushrooms in a third bowl. Let the shrimp and vegetables marinate 10 minutes at room temperature. Toss the noodles with the remaining marinade.
• Heat a grill or grill pan to medium-high. Grill the shrimp, asparagus and mushrooms until the shrimp is just cooked through and the asparagus is slightly tender, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Halve the mushrooms and cut the asparagus into pieces.
• Divide the noodles among bowls and top with the shrimp, asparagus, mushrooms, carrot and cilantro.

SHRIMP AND NOODLE SALAD

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Trim the top and bottom of the grapefruit, then slice off the peel and white pith. Hold the grapefruit over a bowl and cut out the segments, letting them drop into the bowl; tear into bite-size pieces. Squeeze the juices from the membranes into the bowl.
• Make the dressing: Remove 2 tablespoons of the grapefruit juice to a large bowl. Stir in the fish sauce, all but 1 teaspoon of the chili sauce, 1 teaspoon ginger, the lime juice and 2 tablespoons water.
• Heat the vegetable oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the shallots and cook, stirring, until starting to crisp, 3 to 4 minutes. Remove the shallots to a paper towel-lined plate to drain. Pour the oil from the skillet into the fish sauce dressing, leaving a coating of oil in the skillet.
• Season the shrimp with salt and pepper in a bowl. Toss with the remaining 1 teaspoon chili sauce and 2 teaspoons ginger. Add the shrimp to the skillet and cook over medium-high heat, stirring, until cooked through, 1 to 2 minutes per side. Remove to a plate.
• When the water comes to a boil, remove from the heat and submerge the noodles; stir until tender, 3 minutes. Drain in a sieve and rinse under cold water; shake out as much water as possible.
• Toss the noodles, slaw mix and mint with the dressing. Divide among bowls. Top with the shrimp, grapefruit and shallots.
