Bring 1 liter of water to a boil. Add the glass noodles and cook for 3-4 minutes or until tender. Drain, rinse with cold water, and set aside.
Season the shrimp with 0.5 teaspoons of salt. Heat 1 teaspoon of vegetable oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the shrimp and sauté until pink and fully cooked, about 2-3 minutes per side. Remove from heat and let cool.
In a small bowl, whisk together lime juice, fish sauce, brown sugar, soy sauce, and minced garlic until the sugar is dissolved. This will be your dressing.
In a large salad bowl, combine the cooked glass noodles, mango, cucumber, carrot, mint leaves, cilantro leaves, and red chili.
Add the cooked shrimp into the salad bowl and gently toss to combine.
Pour the dressing over the salad and mix well, ensuring everything is evenly coated.
Garnish with crushed peanuts before serving.
Serve immediately and enjoy your refreshing Shrimp and Mango Salad with Glass Noodles.
