This sensational and easy Thai shrimp salad brings bold flavor to the dinner table.
We love this bright, healthy main-dish salad for a quick weeknight dinner when we’re in the mood for something on the lighter side.
This dish is especially easy to put together when you have a stash of frozen shrimp at the ready. Just defrost them according to package directions. Use any combination of vegetables that you have on hand — it’s a great way to use up what’s in your vegetable drawer. Any mix of leafy salad greens and crunchy vegetables is ideal.
We love the no-fuss technique of roasting the shrimp in the oven. Cleanup is easy, and you can assemble the rest of the salad ingredients and the dressing in the time it takes to preheat the oven and roast the shrimp.
Prepared curry paste (which you can get at any well-stocked supermarket) is featured in the marinade for the shrimp, as well as in the dressing. Red, green or yellow varieties of curry paste all work well and add great depth of flavor.
