Asian-style Shrimp Salad

This salad has been my summer go-to lately.  It's really easy and has tons of flavor!

Ingredients

• 1lb shrimp, shelled and deveined
• Chopped lettuce
• 1/4 red onion, chopped
• Red bell pepper, seeded and chopped
• Cucumber, peeled and chopped
• Handful of cilantro, chopped
• Asian-style salad dressing
• Sesame seeds
• Crunchy chow-mein noodles

Procedure

Cook the shrimp however you like.  I usually cook them in a pan over medium heat with about 1 tbsp of olive oil.  Cutting the shrimp into smaller pieces can stretch 1lb of shrimp over a meal for 2 for dinner and lunch the next day.

Chop up all of your veggies, lettuce and cilantro and mix them together.  This week I was able to use lettuce and cucumber from my garden.  I also added mushrooms because they were leftover from last week and I didn't want them to go bad.

Top your salad with cooked shrimp, sesame seeds, crunchy chow-mein noodles and dressing.  I usually use the Kraft Asian Toasted Sesame dressing but any brand will work well.  And that's it!  A quick and easy summer salad that is ready in less than 20-30 minutes!

Happy Cooking!
