Pepper-Shrimp-and-Noodle Salad with Crunchy Spring Vegetables image

Cold peanut noodles get a fresh reboot in this veg-forward entrée salad. After mixing thin spaghetti or ramen with a gingery sesame sauce, you fry garlic slivers for a crunchy garnish, then sizzle juicy shrimp in the same pan. Lastly, the salad: an aromatic bouquet of cucumber, radishes, cilantro, and mint.

2 tablespoons smooth natural peanut butter
2 tablespoons unseasoned rice vinegar
2 tablespoons reduced-sodium soy sauce or tamari
1 tablespoon pure maple syrup
1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
1 teaspoon hot sesame oil
1/2 cup vegetable oil
10 ounces wheat noodles, such as fresh or dry ramen, or thin spaghetti
1/4 cup very thinly sliced garlic (from 10 to 12 cloves)
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
12 ounces large shrimp, peeled and deveined
1 cup julienned English cucumber
