  • 1 clove garlic
  • 1 tbsp water

Instructions

  • Combine all sauce ingredients in a small bowl. Whisk until well combined. Set aside.
  • In a wok or pan, heat cooking oil over high heat (we used extra virgin coconut oil for added flavor).

  • Combine all salad ingredients in a large bowl. Toss to combine. Top with cooked shrimps and peanut sauce.

Notes

  • Take-along tip: make sure the shrimps are completely cooled before adding them to a container. Store greens on top and keep dressing in a separate container.
