Spicy Shrimp Salads

Shrimpsalads this !

Matt and I love shrimp. And cooked pineapple. And salads. And Rocky Mountain Sriracha! So on a weeknight when we had the ingredients on hand, we created this shrimp bowl that was too fun to not write down.

We started with lettuce from the garden. This was part of ‘salad week’ where every night we had a big salad topped with something fun in an effort to use up the greens flourishing in the garden beds.

We had leftover rice noodles from a Cook Smarts recipe, but you could use any kind of chilled noodles you like. (Soba noodles would be nice!)

This army of flavor formed the sauce

Hi Mr. Pineapple! So juicy sweeeeeeet.

Foodblog-7279

The method for the shrimp and pineapple were simple: sear, dump in some sauce, remove from pan, repeat. The pineapple soaked up the sauce so that every bite was sweet/savory delight.

Pineapple + Shrimp Salad Bowl

The stars of this bowl are shrimp and pineapple - both cooked and dressed in a bright sesame sauce.
Cook Time 10 minutes
Total Time 10 minutes
Servings 2 Servings
Author Kath Younger

Ingredients

  • 1/2 pound shrimp
  • 1.5 cups fresh pineapple can be canned if you want but fresh is best!
  • 1.5 cups cooked rice noodles this should be about 3-4 ounces dry - or any kind of noodles you want
  • Romaine or bibb lettuce enough for 2 bowls of salad
  • 2 tbsp chopped mint
  • 1/2 tbsp sesame oil
  • Juice of 1 lime
  • For the sauce
  • 2 tbsp sesame oil
  • 2 tbsp rice wine vinegar
  • 2 tsp soy sauce
  • 2 tsp sriracha
  • 2 tsp brown sugar

Instructions

  • Prepare sauce by shaking together ingredients in a jar. This will be your glaze, dressing and finishing sauce.
  • If needed, set a pot of water to boil for the rice noodles and cook as directed.
  • Meanwhile, heat a large pan to medium high and add sesame oil. Add shrimp and cook for a few minutes per side, until they brown and turn pink. Resist the urge to crowd the pan!
  • When shrimp are almost done, add 1 tablespoon of your sauce, toss to coat the shrimp and remove them from the pan.
  • Add pineapple cubes to the pan and toss them in the brown bits that remain in your pan. Cook pineapple until it begins to brown and soften and then add another tablespoon of the sauce. Remove from pan.
  • Toss lettuce in 2 tablespoons of sauce/dressing and toss noodles separately in another 2 tablespoons.
  • Fill bowls with sections of lettuce, shrimp, pineapple and noodles.
  • Drizzle on any remaining sauce.
  • Garnish with chopped mint, fresh lime juice and more sriracha.

    Eggs and prawns are the two things I miss most since going vegan! This looks delicious!

      I know Emily! I have contemplated going vegan so many times….but I would miss eggs (& cheese) so much I just can’t do it. I do make meatless meals and eat a mainly veggie diet…..to my husbands dismay! HA!

      Kath – this looks awesome! My hubby would love that ‘sauce’ on grilled chicken with rice……

    Oh my goodness.. so many of my fave things, all in one bowl! I love shrimp and the spicier, the better! I don’t have a huge amount of patio space but am hoping to start my little patio garden this weekend. That’s so great that you guys have plenty of greens growing to keep you fed all week! 🙂

    Definitely making this! I’m yet to cook shrimp and I’m so afraid of over cooking them! How long total did those size ones take to cook?

    I’m obsessed with sriracha, I’ll have to check out the Rocky Mountain Sriracha. Do you have Asian markets in your area? I’ve found that the sesame oil in those grocery stores are a million times better than anything you can get in a regular grocery store. This looks delish.

      I haven’t tried sesame variations but I should! Knowing what a specialty balsamic vinegar can do to a recipe…

    I actually made this over the weekend thanks to it showing up in my Feedly early for some reason! It was a little too sweet for me, but I just added a little more soy and sriracha to cut the sugary-sweetness of it and it was good!!

    Even though there’s not a great vegan/vegetarian substitute for seafood, I think these flavors would work beautifully with tofu so I’m definitely going to try it!

    Oh my, I am so making this as soon as I get some shrimp – probably tomorrow! I love cold noodles. I love Asian foods/sauces. I love shrimp. How can I go wrong? 🙂
