Warm Prawn Noodle Salad Recipes

VIETNAMESE GARLIC SHRIMP (PRAWN) NOODLE SALAD

Steps:

• Combine the Garlic Shrimp ingredients in a small bowl and set aside for 10 minutes.
• Combine the Dressing ingredients in a small jar, give it a shake then set aside for 10 minutes.
• Heat a skillet / fry pan over high heat. Add the shrimp, scraping in the olive oil and garlic from the sides of the bowl. Cook for 2 minutes, or until browned and the shrimp is just cooked through. (Note 2)
• Remove the prawns from the skillet onto a plate.
• Prepare the vermicelli noodles according to the packet directions. I like to just soak them in hot tap water for a few minutes, this ensures they don't overcook. Then drain the noodles.
• Arrange the noodles and remaining Salad ingredients on a large plate (like the photo) or toss together in a bowl. Top with prawns (warm or at room temperature). Drizzle over the Dressing (or toss through), or you can serve the Dressing on the side.
• Serve immediately.

• Bring a saucepan of water to a boil. Add the snow peas and blanch for 1 minute. Drain, briefly refresh in cold water, then drain again. Slice lengthwise and place in a mixing bowl. Add the mango and most of the mint, reserving some mint for garnish. Set aside. For the dressing: Whisk together the oil, mustard and vinegar and season with salt and pepper.
• Heat a wok over medium heat. Add the vegetable oil and saute the shallots and ginger until caramelized, 3 minutes. Add the prawns and stir-fry until just cooked, 2 minutes. Stir in the lime juice to deglaze the pan, then season with salt and pepper. Add the prawns to the mixing bowl with the snow peas and mint, then pour over the dressing and toss until well combined. Transfer to a serving platter, garnish with the remaining mint and serve.
