Back to TopSummer fresh! Light and flavorful. Added thin rice noodles for body. Also sauteed the shrimp vs. boiling. Probably would add more garlic next time - I'm a flavor queen.

SO GOOD! As slight modifications, I seasoned the shrimp with a garlic/herb mix and sauteed instead of boiling for a little extra flavor. I also chopped up and broiled some peaches to add a fruity/summery kick. Absolutely amazing!

This is very refreshing, perfect for summer. Easy and do-ahead.

Delicious! Even better after sitting a day. I served it on a bed of spinach and it's a full meal.

pretty easy to throw together. little light for a main course but would make a nice refreshing appetizer as part of a summer barbecue while the main dish is cooking. perhaps a little spice would have punched up the flavor a bit more.
