Szechuan Shrimp & Ruby Grapefruit Salad

Servings 4 people

Ingredients

  • 1 pound medium shrimp, peeled, with tails on
  • 6 ounces dried vermicelli rice noodles
  • 1 large ruby grapefruit, peeled
  • 1 cup torn mint leaves
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 1/4 cup freshly squeezed grapefruit juice
  • 2 tablespoons toasted sesame oil
  • 1 tablespoon fish sauce
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground Szechuan peppercorns

Instructions

  • Bring a saucepan filled with water to a boil over high heat. Add the shrimp and cook for 3 to 5 minutes, until they are opaque and cooked through. Drain and place in a large ceramic bowl.
  • Place the noodles in a heatproof bowl and pour in boiling water to cover. Let stand for 10 minutes, until soft, then drain and rinse under cool running water. Add to the shrimp.
  • Cut the grapefruit into segments and add them and any juices to the bowl with the shrimp and noodles. Add the mint leaves.
  • To make the dressing, in a small bowl, whisk together all of the ingredients. Pour over the salad, toss gently to coat evenly, and serve at once.
