Time 40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 large grapefruit
1 tablespoon plus 2 teaspoons fish sauce
1/4 cup sweet chili sauce
1 tablespoon minced fresh ginger
1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
1/4 cup vegetable oil

  • Heat the vegetable oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the shallots and cook, stirring, until starting to crisp, 3 to 4 minutes. Remove the shallots to a paper towel-lined plate to drain. Pour the oil from the skillet into the fish sauce dressing, leaving a coating of oil in the skillet.
  • Season the shrimp with salt and pepper in a bowl. Toss with the remaining 1 teaspoon chili sauce and 2 teaspoons ginger. Add the shrimp to the skillet and cook over medium-high heat, stirring, until cooked through, 1 to 2 minutes per side. Remove to a plate.
  • When the water comes to a boil, remove from the heat and submerge the noodles; stir until tender, 3 minutes. Drain in a sieve and rinse under cold water; shake out as much water as possible.

SPICY SESAME SHRIMP & NOODLE SALAD



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
