How to make Asian shrimp salad

It’s such an easy recipe! Scroll down to the recipe card for the detailed instructions.

This delicious, Asian-inspired cold shrimp salad is dressed in a lovely dressing of soy sauce, white wine, and sesame oil. It’s a fresh-tasting, light dish that goes really well with dry white wine – the same wine used in the dressing.

If you like spice, try adding a pinch of red pepper flakes to the dressing. You can also add seeded, thinly sliced jalapeno peppers. Red peppers are hotter, but they add a nice color to the dish.

How to serve Asian shrimp salad

You can serve it as an appetizer, or as a main dish. I like to serve it with a side of Asian cucumber salad or Asian cabbage salad. Sometimes I serve it on top of cold shirataki sesame noodles.

How long can I keep this Asian shrimp salad?

You can keep it in the fridge, in an airtight container, for up to 3 days.

How to choose sustainable shrimp

Shrimp are generally healthy, but imported shrimp are not always well regulated. They are sometimes grown in contaminated water and fed antibiotics. Your best bet is to choose either US-grown wild shrimp or responsibly farmed sustainable shrimp. Here are some good tips for choosing sustainable shrimp and consuming shrimp responsibly.
