- 0.25 cups Coconut milk
- 4 ounces Rice vermicelli noodles
- 2 cups Romaine lettuce, shredded
- 1 large Carrot, julienned

- 1 tablespoon Fish sauce
- 1 tablespoon Honey

Instructions
Place the rice vermicelli noodles in a large bowl. Pour boiling water over the noodles until fully submerged. Soak for 5-7 minutes, or until tender. Drain and rinse under cold water. Set aside.
In a small bowl, mix the red curry paste and coconut milk until well combined.
Heat the neutral cooking oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the shrimp and cook for 1-2 minutes per side until pink and opaque.
Pour the red curry and coconut milk mixture over the shrimp. Simmer for another 2-3 minutes until the shrimp are coated in the sauce and the sauce thickens slightly. Remove from heat and set aside to cool slightly.
In a large salad bowl, combine the shredded romaine lettuce, julienned carrot, cucumber, red bell pepper, cilantro, and mint.
In a small bowl, whisk together the lime juice, fish sauce, honey, and sesame oil to create the dressing.
Add the cooked and cooled rice vermicelli noodles to the salad bowl with the vegetables. Drizzle the dressing over the top and toss gently to combine.
Divide the salad among serving plates. Top each plate with the red curry shrimp and sprinkle with chopped peanuts for crunch.
Serve immediately and enjoy!
