Step-by-Step Instructions for Spicy Thai Shrimp Salad
  1. In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together lime juice, fish sauce, sugar, and chopped chilies until the sugar dissolves.
  2. Add the peeled and deveined shrimp into the bowl with the marinade, ensuring each shrimp is fully coated. Let them marinate for about 15 minutes.
  3. In a separate bowl, combine chopped cilantro, chopped mint leaves, sliced cucumber, halved cherry tomatoes, and thinly sliced red onion. Gently toss these fresh ingredients together.
  4. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Once shimmering, add the marinated shrimp and sauté for about 5-7 minutes until pink and opaque.
  5. Transfer the cooked shrimp to the bowl with the mixed salad ingredients and pour the remaining marinade over. Gently toss.
  6. Season with salt and pepper to your liking. Serve immediately for best freshness.
