Papaya Shrimp And Soba Salad Recipes

Steps:

• In a large pot of rapidly boiling salted water, cook soba noodles until al dente according to package instructions; drain.
• Meanwhile, in a large bowl, whisk together tamarind, sugar, 2 tablespoons oil, lime juice, and cayenne. Add drained noodles, cilantro, onion, half the papaya, and all but 3 tablespoons of the peanuts; season with salt and pepper and toss to combine.
• In a large skillet, heat the remaining 2 tablespoons oil over low. Add garlic and cook until golden brown on both sides, about 5 minutes total. Remove garlic chips and set aside on a paper towel. Raise heat to medium-high; add shrimp, sprinkle with coriander, salt, and pepper, and cook, tossing occasionally, until shrimp are just cooked through, about 3 minutes.
• To serve, divide noodles and shrimp evenly among 4 large bowls; top each serving with remaining papaya, peanuts, garlic chips, and cilantro.

Steps:

• Preparing the Shrimp
• Rinse the cooked shrimp under cold running water, pat dry with paper towels, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate.
• Preparing the Papaya
• Cut the papaya in half lengthwise, and 1) use the spoon to scoop out and discard the seeds. Peel off the skin with a paring knife and discard, then place the papaya cut side down on a cutting board. 2) Use a sharp knife to cut the fruit lengthwise into slices 1/2 inch wide, then slice those pieces crosswise into 1/2-inch chunks. Remember that a ripe papaya is fragile, and will turn to mush if harshly handled.
• Finishing the Salad
• Rinse the lettuce leaves and pat dry with paper towels.
• Rinse the parley and pat dry; remove the stems and discard. Finely chop the leaves.
• Arrange 2 or 3 lettuce leaves on each serving plate, making them into a bed for the salad.
• Stir the milk into the mayonnaise to thin it.
• Distribute the shrimp and papaya onto the 4 plates. Sprinkle on salt, drizzle the dressing over each serving, and scatter some chopped parsley on top. Serve.

Steps:

• Boil soba in boiling water for 5-8 minutes; drain and rinse with cold water and then drain again.
• While noodles are cooking, mix together wasabi and 1 tablespoon cold water in a small bowl or cup.

• In a large salad bowl toss together the spinach, noodles, green onions, shrimp, ginger and dressing.

Steps:
