This Sweet and Spicy Shrimp Salad tastes excellent when you serve it cold. I love to serve this Shrimp Salad with my BBQ sides. It also makes for a light and healthy dinner recipe.

When I am in no mood to cook, but I want something light and healthy for lunch or dinner, this Thai Shrimp Salad is my go-to recipe. I have made it pretty often in my home, and my family just loves it.

Ingredients needed for Shrimp Salad

  • Shrimps - peeled and deveined
  • Coconut Oil - to cook the shrimps
  • Salt & Pepper - to season the Shrimps
  • Veggies - I use diced bell peppers of all colors, shredded carrots, purple cabbage, lettuce, and green onions. They give a hearty bed and crunch to the Shrimp salad.
  • Peanut Sauce - I use this homemade Peanut Sauce recipe which is super easy and makes this Shrimp Salad worthwhile.

See the recipe card for quantities. Also, watch the video for a quick visual.

How to make Sweet & Spicy Thai Shrimp Salad

Make the peanut sauce / dressing

peanut sauce

In a small blender combine Peanut Butter, Garlic cloves, Maple Syrup, Red Pepper Flakes, Rice Wine Vinegar, Soy Sauce and Water. Blend until combined and lump free. Refrigerate until you use.

Cook the Shrimps

Pat dry the Shrimps with a clean kitchen towel

Heat oil in a skillet. As the oil shimmers, add the Shrimps. Season with salt and freshly cracked black pepper. Toss to combine.

Cook over medium high heat for 2-3 min or until the Shrimps curl and turn pink.

Remove the cooked shrimps from the skillet and set aside.

Hint: Do not over cook the Shrimp. Shrimp cooks really fast so you would want to cook it just for 2-3 min OR just until they curl and get pink-ish!

Assemble the salad

In a large salad bowl toss together, chopped Lettuce, Purple Cabbage, diced bell peppers, chopped green onions, chopped red onions, and shredded cabbage.

Transfer to two salad bowls. Top with the cooked Shirmps

Drizzle the Peanut sauce on top. Garnish with freshly chopped Cilantro, Lime juice, and toasted Peanuts. Serve cold!

Substitutions

  • Lettuce - instead of ice berg lettuce, you can use romaine lettuce or spinach
  • Chicken - you can use shredded Chicken, or Salmon or flaked Tuna instead of Shrimps.
  • Vegetarian - to make vegetarian chopped Thai Salad, you can skip the Shrimp and use the veggies. For vegan protein, you can use tofu or tempeh.

Variations

  • Spicy - add chili pepper flakes while you make the sauce to make it spicy
  • Fish Sauce - you can use fish sauce to make the peanut dressing to give it more umami flavors

Storage

Store leftover Thai Shrimp Salad in an airtight container in the refrigerator. You can refrigerate leftover Thai Shrimp Salad for upto two days

I do not recommend freezing this salad as the lettuce gets really watery and wilted upon thawing. Also the veggies lose their crunch!

FAQs

What goes with Shrimp Salad?

Fried Rice, Noodles, Chowmein, Mac and Cheese, Deviled Eggs or Roasted Chicken goes great with this Thai Shrimp Salad.

How long does Shrimp salad stay good?

This Shrimp Salad stays good for 2-3 days in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
