Provided by Julesong

Categories     Lunch/Snacks

Time 1h

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

4 cups cooked jasmine rice, chilled
1 lb cooked small to medium shrimp, peeled, de-tailed, and de-veined
2 papayas, peeled and diced
1 cup spicy picante sauce, your favorite
2 -3 tablespoons honey, to taste
3 tablespoons pineapple juice
4 tablespoons fresh lime juice
1/2 teaspoon dried ancho chile powder
1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
2 tablespoons minced fresh basil
2 tablespoons olive oil
16 butter lettuce leaves

Steps:

  • In a ceramic bowl, combine the cooked rice, shrimp, and papaya.
  • In a separate small bowl, combine the picante sauce, honey, pineapple juice, lime juice, ancho, cumin, basil, and olive oil; whisk together well to make the dressing.
  • Pour the dressing over the rice mixture and toss well to coat.
  • Chill for 1 hour.
  • To serve, place butter lettuce leaves decoratively on a platter, place salad on the leaves, and serve.
  • Note: the spicy-ness of this salad depends completely on the picante/salsa that you choose, because otherwise it does not contain any particularly spicy ingredients. Ancho chile powder is not very spicy at all - rather, it's smokey - so if you don't want it spicy, don't use picante/salsa that's too spicy for you.

FIRE AND ICE PASTA



Fire and Ice Pasta image

I apparently copied the original recipe down wrong (2 cups of olive oil?? That can't be right!) so I took extreme liberties with it when I made this. I added black olives and used white onions instead of the chives. This would be better with fresh herbs. It's spicy, so serve it with some chewy bread and a mixed green salad.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients, especially the tomatoes and cheese. Fresh, ripe tomatoes will give the salad the best flavor. A good quality cheese will also make a big difference.
  • Don't overcook the pasta. It should be cooked al dente, or slightly firm to the bite. This will help it hold its shape and not get mushy in the salad.
  • Let the pasta cool completely before adding it to the salad. This will help prevent the salad from becoming watery.
  • Use a variety of vegetables in the salad. This will add color, flavor, and texture. Some good options include bell peppers, cucumbers, zucchini, and artichokes.
  • Don't be afraid to experiment with different dressings. The dressing is what really makes the salad, so feel free to try different combinations of ingredients until you find one that you like.

Conclusion:

Fire and ice pasta salad is a delicious and refreshing salad that is perfect for summer gatherings. It is a great way to use up leftover pasta and vegetables, and it is also a healthy and flavorful dish.
