Instructions
1- Prepare the Thai Peanut Dressing:
- In a clear glass measuring cup, combine 96g of powdered peanut butter and 6g of zero-calorie sweetener. Use a metal spoon to mix thoroughly to avoid clumps.
- Gradually add cold water, stirring continuously until a thick, peanut butter-like consistency is achieved. Be cautious not to over-dilute at this stage.
- Add 50g of soy sauce and 12g of rice vinegar to the mixture. Whisk with a small metal whisk until smooth and pourable. Set aside.
2- Cook the Shrimp:
- Season 1.5 lbs of shrimp generously with blackened seasoning.
- Heat a frying pan on the stovetop to medium heat (6/10).
- Cook the shrimp for 2-3 minutes per side until they are fully cooked and opaque. Remove from the pan and set aside.
3- Assemble the Salad:
- In a large wooden salad bowl, combine Romaine, cabbage, carrots, cucumber, red peppers, jalapenos, cilantro, green onion, minced garlic, and ginger.
- Drizzle the prepared Thai Peanut Dressing over the salad ingredients.
- Using wooden salad servers, toss the salad well to ensure all components are coated with the dressing.
- Add the cooked shrimp to the salad and gently mix to distribute evenly.
4- Serve and Enjoy:
- Garnish the salad with sesame seeds and serve immediately.
