Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 250 grams Cooked shrimp
- 200 grams Imitation crab meat
- 150 grams Seaweed salad (wakame)
- 1 medium Cucumber
- 1 large Avocado
- 150 grams Cherry tomatoes
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon Sesame seeds
- 2 stalks Scallions (green onions)
- 1 pinch Salt
- 1 pinch Black pepper
Instructions
Rinse the cooked shrimp under cold water and pat them dry with a paper towel. Set aside.
Shred the imitation crab meat into smaller pieces using your hands or a fork.
In a large mixing bowl, place the seaweed salad (wakame). If it is pre-packaged and comes in brine, drain it well before adding.
Wash and slice the cucumber into thin half-moons. Add it to the bowl.
Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, scoop out the flesh, and dice it into small cubes. Add the cubes to the salad, being careful to keep them intact.
Halve the cherry tomatoes and add them to the bowl for a pop of color and freshness.
Thinly slice the scallions (green onions), both the white and green parts, and sprinkle them over the salad.
In a small bowl, whisk together lemon juice, olive oil, soy sauce, sesame oil, salt, and black pepper to make the dressing.
Pour the dressing over the salad and gently toss everything together to coat evenly without breaking the avocado pieces.
Toast the sesame seeds in a dry pan over medium heat for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, then sprinkle them over the salad as a garnish.
Transfer the Ocean Salad to a serving platter or individual bowls, and serve immediately to enjoy the fresh flavors.
