SPICY THAI BASIL & LIME JUMBO SHRIMP VIETNAMESE SALAD
I found this recipe in Wine Enthusiast Magazine. This recipe adapted from the Asian Grill by Corinne Trang, is a traditional Vietnamese "tableside salad" which, true to its name, is assembled at the table. It is based on rice vermicelli, an extemely thin rice noodle, and dressed with nuoc cham, the sweet, sour spicy fish sauce dressing that is Vietnam's condiment of choice. For a milder dish, remove the seeds from the chilies and crush the garlic. Tiger shrimp are prefered because they're "meaty, sweet, and firm". NOTE: Recipe for nuoc cham is posted separately

Steps:
- Prepare the shrimp:.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the fish sauce, lime or lemon juice, and sugar until the sugar is completely dissolved. Add the oil, garlic, basil and chili. If you wish, pour the marinade into a blender and pulse until smooth.
- Place the shrimp and marinade into a resealable gallon plastic bag. Squeeze out the air; and seal the bag. Hold onto the two ends, shake the bag to coat the pieces evenly. Refrigerate for 4 hours, turning the bag every 30 minutes or so to redistribute the marinade.
- Put the rice vermicelli into a large bowl with water to cover. Let soak until pliable, about 30 minutes. In a large pot of boinling water, cook the vermicelli for no more than 5 seconds. Drain and rinse under cold running water. Transfer to a dish, cover with plastic wrap and wet aside.
- In a small sauce pan, heat the oil over medium heat. Fry the scallions until fragrant and lightly golden, about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and let cool. Toss the rice vermicelli with the scallion oil ( including the scallions) and transfer to a serving platter.
- On a serving platter, arrange, in individual piles the carrots, lettuce leaves, carambolas ( if using), cucmber and mint sprigs. Put the peanuts in a separte bowl.
- Cook the shrimp:.
- Just before you are ready to serve, prepare a hot fire in a charcoal grill or preheat a gas grill to high (500F). Remove the shrimp from the marinade and discard the marinade. Grill the shrimp, turning them frequently to prevent burning, for 2 to 3 minutes, until evenly pink and golden on both sides.
- To Serve:.
- Instruct your guests to take some vericelli, carrots, cucumbers, carambolas, lettus leaves (freshly torn), mint leaves (pinching off the sems and freshly torn), and toss in their individual dishes ( a large soup bowl or deep plate is best) until the ingredients are evenly distributed. Place the grilled shrimp on top, sprinkle with peanuts and drizzle with the nauc cham. Serves 6 to 8.
- Wine Recommendations: Gewurztraminer, Pinot Gris, or chilled Morgon from Beaujoliais.

PLA GOONG (SPICY THAI SHRIMP SALAD)
This dish is somewhere between a shrimp salad and a ceviche - just-cooked shrimp dressed with a sour-savory-sweet mixture of lime, fish sauce, and sweet chile paste, then showered with herbs and chiles. In classic Thai fashion, it's combination of many tastes, each moment on your palate different from the next. It's a favorite of Pornpong Kanittanon, the Consul General of Thailand in New York, and the recipe is adapted from his wife, Jaisamarn.

Steps:
- Bring a pot of 3 quarts of water to a boil. (I like to salt the water like pasta water; Kanittanon does not add salt.)
- In a large bowl, combine the lime juice, fish sauce, sugar, nam prik pao and chopped chiles. Taste, and adjust with any of the ingredients, including salt. The sauce's flavor should be led by sourness and savoriness, but with a good balance of sweetness and heat.
- Cook the shrimp in the water until it just turns opaque, medium or medium-rare, about 1 minute. For better flavor, cook the shrimp with heads or shells on; peel when just cooled enough to handle.
- Add the shrimp to the sauce while still warm and toss; the lime will continue to "cook" the shrimp like a ceviche. Add the lemongrass, shallot, cilantro, mint leaves and makrut lime leaves, reserving a little of each herb for garnish. Toss, and place on a dish; scatter the reserved herbs on top. Serve immediately with hot rice.

Tips:
- Choose the freshest shrimp possible. Look for shrimp that are plump and have a slight briny smell. Avoid shrimp that are slimy or have a strong fishy odor.
- Marinate the shrimp in the spicy Thai basil sauce for at least 30 minutes. This will help the shrimp to absorb the flavors of the marinade and make them more tender.
- Grill the shrimp over medium-high heat until they are cooked through. The shrimp should be opaque and slightly charred on the outside.
- Serve the shrimp immediately with the sour mango salad. The salad will help to balance out the heat of the shrimp and add a refreshing flavor.
Conclusion:
This spicy Thai basil grilled shrimp with sour mango salad is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a summer cookout or party. The shrimp are grilled to perfection and the salad is refreshing and flavorful. This dish is sure to be a hit with your friends and family.
