  • 4 ounces sugar snap peas
  • 4 ounces bean sprouts
  • 3 scallions, sliced into thin circles
  • 1/2 cup finely chopped fresh cilantro leaves, to garnish

Instructions
 

  • MAKE VIETNAMESE DRESSING:
  • Simply mix all the ingredients together.
  • This will keep very well in a tightly sealed jar in the refrigerator for at least a week.
  • MAKE THE SHRIMP SALAD:
  • Marinate the shrimp in 1/2 cup of the Vietnamese Dressing.
  • While this is going on, soak the noodles in freshly boiled water according to packet instructions.
  • Once re-hydrated, refresh the noodles in cold water, then drain.
  • Put the sugar snaps and bean sprouts into a colander and pour over freshly boiled water from a kettle.
  • Rinse them with cold water and drain well, just shaking the colander, so they're not actually wet.
  • In a large bowl, mix the marinated shrimp with the drained noodles, scallions, sugar snaps, and bean sprouts.
  • Dress with 2 tablespoons more of the Vietnamese Dressing; add more dressing, to taste, if desired.
  • Sprinkle over the chopped cilantro and toss everything together well before arranging onto a large platter.
