ASIAN-STYLE SHRIMP CAESAR SALAD
A friend from New Zealand served this to me about 20 years ago. Over the past 10 years I have self-published 8 cookbooks on various subjects and this is absolutely the most-commented on, highest praised recipe of all - for its awesome taste and simplicity. Be sure to use ONLY the Marukan brand Seasoned (orange label) rice vinegar or it just won't taste the same. For a good diet dressing substitute half the oil for water and toss with a green salad.
