Spicy Sesame Shrimp & Noodle Salad image

One of our favorite Korean dishes has always been a Korean Cold Sesame Noodles that my Mom made for us. It was supposed to be served at room temperature, but I like it warm. The shrimp-noodle salad recipe was a result of memories of my Mom's Korean background, and my love of fresh vegetables, packed full of flavor. The gochujang (hot chili paste) is a more savory kind of heat, that really blends beautifully with sesame, soy sauce and garlic. -Karen Bowlden, Boise, Idaho

This salad was a great way to use up some leftover shrimp. I also added some chopped peanuts for extra crunch.

I found the dressing to be a little too spicy for my liking, but my husband loved it. I'll probably try making it again with a milder chili sauce.

The shrimp in this salad were a little overcooked for my taste, but the flavors were still great. I'll definitely try it again with a shorter cooking time.
