Chinese Auction Shrimp Salad
Posted: December 21, 2015 Filed under: Uncategorized Leave a commentFor my annual Chinese Auction I made this big ass cabbage and raw veggie salad with shrimp and a cilantro lime dressing. I forgot to take a picture of it, but it is a beautiful salad with lots of different colors. You can certainly imagine it. I am not going to put amounts of anything since I made this for a crowd, you can certainly figure out how much you need per person
Finley shredded Napa Cabbage
Shredded Red cabbage
Green onions – chopped
Carrots – julienned
Jicama- julienned
Red, yellow and orange peppers – chopped
Avocado- diced
Mung bean sprouts
Snow peas- julienned
Cooked, peeled shrimp
Cilantro- chopped
Peanuts – chopped
Cilantro Lime Dressing
1/3 cup fresh squeezed lime juice
1/4 cup rice vinegar
2 cloves of garlic
1 chipotle chili from the can in adobo sauce
2 T. Honey
2/3 c. Olive oil
2 big handfuls of cleaned cilantro leaves
Salt and pepper
Put the juice, vinegar, garlic, chili and honey in a blender and run on high for fifteen seconds. Take the center out of the top and turn the blender on high and stream in the oil slowly so it can thicken up. It should take about a minute to get all the oil in and well blended. Turn the machine off and add the cilantro and just pulse it a couple times. Taste and add salt and pepper as needed.
Mix up all veggies and toss with the shrimp and dressing as needed. Sprinkle cilantro and peanuts on top to garnish.
