Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 piece (3 1/2 inches) peeled fresh ginger
1 tablespoon whole black peppercorns
5 tablespoons fresh lemon juice, divided (from 2 lemons)
3/4 pound (about 12) large whole unpeeled shrimp
1 teaspoon fish sauce
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
1 piece (5 ounces) honeydew, rind removed, thinly sliced lengthwise
3 radishes, thinly shaved on a mandoline (1/2 cup)
2 large scallions, thinly sliced on the bias (3 tablespoons)
2 ounces jicama, peeled and thinly shaved on a mandoline (1/2 cup)
Coarsely ground pepper

Steps:

  • Finely grate enough ginger to yield 1/2 teaspoon; set aside. Cut remaining ginger into 1/4-inch slices. Bring 5 cups water, sliced ginger, peppercorns, and 3 tablespoons lemon juice to a boil, covered. Reduce heat to low, and add shrimp. Cover, and poach until just cooked through, stirring occasionally, about 4 minutes (do not let liquid boil). Drain, discard ginger and peppercorns, and place shrimp in a bowl of ice water for 5 minutes. Drain shrimp; refrigerate at least 15 minutes and up to 1 day. Peel, devein, and cut shrimp in half horizontally.
  • Whisk together remaining 2 tablespoons lemon juice, the grated ginger, fish sauce, and oil in a large bowl. Add shrimp, melon, radishes, and half the scallions, and toss well. Add jicama, and gently toss. Divide between 2 plates, season generously with coarsely ground pepper, and garnish with remaining scallions.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover shrimp. I had some cooked shrimp in the fridge and this was the perfect way to use them up.

I'm vegan, so I omitted the shrimp and used extra jicama and radishes. It was still very delicious!

I'm allergic to shrimp, so I used tofu instead. It turned out really well!

I had some trouble finding honeydew radishes at my local grocery store. I ended up using regular radishes and they worked just fine.

This recipe is a bit too spicy for me. I think I'll use less radishes next time.

I found that the shrimp were a bit overcooked. I think I'll reduce the cooking time next time.

I thought the honeydew-jicama slaw was a bit too sweet for my taste. I might try making it with a different fruit next time.

This dish is so light and refreshing. It's perfect for a summer lunch or dinner. I especially love the tangy honey-lime dressing.

I was skeptical about the honeydew-jicama slaw, but it was actually really good! The sweetness of the honeydew balanced out the spiciness of the scallions and radishes. I'll definitely be making this slaw again.

I love the combination of flavors in this dish. The sweetness of the honeydew and the crunchiness of the jicama pair perfectly with the savory shrimp. I also appreciate that this recipe is relatively easy to make.
