Ingredients needed 2 servings

Recipe

Cooking tips

  • Making shallow cuts on the shrimp surface helps the dressing and spice flavors penetrate much better.
  • After poaching the shrimp, turning off the heat and letting them steep keeps the flesh moist and bouncy instead of becoming tough.
  • Use cilantro stems in the dressing for flavor, and save the tender leaves to use as a garnish at the end.

Recommended for

  • Those looking for an exotic accompaniment to white wine or gin.
  • Those wanting to try a unique, upscale salad using watermelon and shrimp.
