Instructions
Cook the rice noodles according to the package instructions. Drain, rinse under cold water, and set aside.
In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, lime juice, fish sauce, rice vinegar, honey, sesame oil, minced garlic, and sliced chili if using. This will serve as your tangy dressing.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Cook the shrimp for 2-3 minutes per side, or until pink and fully cooked. Remove from heat and set aside to cool.
In a large salad bowl, combine the cooked noodles, julienned carrots, cucumber, red bell pepper, chopped cilantro, mint leaves, and cooked shrimp.
Pour the dressing over the salad and toss gently to combine, ensuring all ingredients are evenly coated.
Top with the roughly chopped peanuts for added crunch.
Serve immediately as a refreshing meal or chill in the refrigerator for 20 minutes if you prefer it colder.
