  • 8 oz Medium shrimp, cooked and
  • -peeled
  • 1 c Thinly sliced Boston lettuce
  • -leaves
  • 1/4 c Fresh cilantro leaves

  • 1 ts Grated peeled fresh ginger

 Directions

Store the shrimp-pasta mixture and vinaigrette separately in the
refrigerator; toss just before serving. Fish sauce is a salty condiment
that accounts for the high sodium content of this salad. It comes bottled
and is sometimes labeled nam pla in Asian markets or your supermarket's
ethnic-food section.

1. Cook pasta in boiling water 9-1/2 minutes. Add carrot; cook an
additional 30 seconds. Drain, and cool. Combine pasta mixture, shrimp,
lettuce, cilantro leaves, and peanuts in a large bowl; toss well.

2. Combine lime juice and remaining ingredients in a jar. Cover tightly,
and shake vigorously. Pour over pasta mixture, tossing gently to coat.
Yield: 2 servings (serving size: 2 cups).
