A bright, fiery Thai seafood salad tossing tender shrimp and squid with chili, lime, and fresh herbs.

25 minutes
Serves 3
Appetizer

Instructions

  1. 1

    Bring a pot of water to a gentle boil and blanch the shrimp for about 90 seconds, then the squid for 60 seconds, until just opaque and tender; drain and let cool slightly.

  2. 2

    In a large bowl, whisk together the lime juice, fish sauce, sugar, chilies, and garlic until the sugar dissolves to make a punchy dressing.

  3. 3

    Add the warm seafood to the dressing along with the shallots, tossing to coat while the seafood is still warm so it absorbs the flavors.

  4. 4

    Fold in the cilantro and green onions just before serving to keep them fresh and bright.

  5. 5

    Plate over a bed of crisp lettuce and serve at room temperature.
