INCREDIBLE 10 Minute Shrimp Salad
Serve with Morovino '98 Barbera ('99 works too)
|
|
1 lb. Of the largest shrimp you can find (is that an oxymoron??). Mrs. Vino uses at least 15/20 count-and buys them pre-cleaned and flash frozen. As we've said before, Mrs. Vino appreciates a good shortcut. If using frozen shrimp, please thaw first (I know you already knew that).
¼ C. White wine vinegar (red wine vinegar is JUST as delicious)
3T. Soy Sauce
¼ C. (about one small handful) cilantro (wash it first, my dears)
3 cloves garlic, or 2 medium size spoonsfull of the crushed, jarred stuff
1 Jalapeno pepper, seeded, membranes removed, quartered (like really spicy food-feel free to use 2!)
1T sugar (no fake stuff)
1 red onion
5ish leaves of romain lettuce, thinly sliced (yes, Mrs. Vino knows you aren't supposed to cut lettuce—so sue her!)
¼ head of small red cabbage, thinly sliced
Your olive oil mister (Don't have one? You should. Great cool tool.)
