Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb Shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 2 packs Ramen noodles (uncooked, seasoning packet discarded)
- 4 cups Coleslaw mix (shredded cabbage and carrots)
- 3 stalks Green onions, thinly sliced
- 0.5 cup Slivered almonds, toasted
- 2 tablespoons Sesame seeds, toasted
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons Sesame oil
- 3 tablespoons Rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 1 clove Garlic, minced
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Bring a medium pot of water to a boil and cook the ramen noodles for 3 minutes or until just tender. Drain, rinse under cold water, and set aside.
Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and lightly season the shrimp with salt and pepper. Cook the shrimp for 2-3 minutes per side or until opaque and cooked through. Remove from heat and let cool.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the coleslaw mix, cooked ramen noodles, sliced green onions, toasted slivered almonds, and toasted sesame seeds.
In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, sesame oil, rice vinegar, honey, minced garlic, salt, and pepper to make the dressing.
Add the cooked shrimp to the large mixing bowl and pour the dressing over the salad ingredients.
Toss everything together gently to combine and ensure the dressing coats all the ingredients.
Refrigerate the salad for 15-20 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together, or serve immediately for a fresher taste.
Garnish with additional sesame seeds or green onions if desired and serve.
