CALAMARI, SCUNGILI AND SHRIMP SALAD

Steps:

• In a saucepan of boiling salted water, cook the calamari and shrimp for 3 minutes, or just until opaque and tender. Drain and pat dry.
• In a large bowl, combine the calamari, shrimp, scungili, celery, garlic, olives, and salt and pepper. Chill the mixture, covered, until ready to serve.
• In a small bowl, whisk the lemon juice, oil, salt, and pepper together. Add the dressing to the seafood mixture along with the parsley and toss to combine.

SPICY THAI SHRIMP SALAD

Steps:

• In a large self-sealing plastic bag, combine shrimp, minced garlic, chili powder, and cayenne. Toss until shrimp are evenly coated with the spice mix.
• Heat a large, heavy skillet over medium high heat. Melt olive oil and butter and swirl to coat the bottom the the skillet. Add shrimp in a single layer. (Do not crowd in pan.) Pan-fry about 2 minutes, then turn and fry until shrimp become pink all the way through and slightly firm, about 2-3 minutes. Do not over cook! Carefully remove shrimp from skillet and set aside.
• Layer or toss cabbages, spinach, carrots, edamame, green onions, and sliced almonds, wonton strips, and cilantro in bowl. Drizzle with Chili-Lime Vinaigrette and Sweet & Spicy Peanut Sauce. Garnish with additional cilantro and wonton strips. Serve with additional Vinaigrette and Peanut Sauce.
• Combine all ingredients in a jar and shake to combine. (Remember to put the lid on first!)
• Combine all ingredients and whisk or blend until smooth.

EASY THAI SHRIMP SALAD

• Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a large heavy skillet over high heat. Add in the shrimp and season with salt and pepper. Stir, cooking until the shrimp turns pink which should take about 3 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
• In a small mixing bowl, make your vinaigrette by combining all ingredients in the bowl and whisking together.
• Pour half of the vinaigrette over the shrimp and toss the shrimp to coat.
• Place the Asian greens and cilantro into a large salad bowl. Add in shrimp, cilantro, almonds, and water chestnuts. Add wonton strips just before serving.

THAI SHRIMP AND CALAMARI SALAD

Steps:

• In a small bowl, combine the fish sauce, lime juice, salt, and sugar. Set aside.
• Soak the glass noodles in water for 10 minutes. Place noodles and water in a saucepan and bring to a boil. Cook for 1 minute, then drain noodles and rinse under cold running water to take the heat off.
• Place the noodles, shrimp, squid and the remaining salad ingredients in a large bowl. Pour the dressing over the salad and toss lightly to coat.
• Arrange the salad over lettuce leaves. Sprinkle with the roasted ground peanuts and serve with lime wedges.

WARM THAI SQUID AND SHRIMP SALAD

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Fold four 18-inch lengths of parchment paper in half, cut into a half-heart shape, and open. In a medium bowl, combine the onion, cucumber, tomatoes, cilantro, chile, squid, and shrimp. Divide the seafood mixture among one half of each parchment heart near the crease. Fold the other half of parchment over ingredients. Make small overlapping folds to seal edges, starting at the top of the heart. Two inches from the end, twist the parchment twice, gently but firmly, to seal.
• Place the packet on a rimmed baking sheet or in a heavy skillet (preferably cast iron), and bake 15 minutes or until fully puffed. Remove from the oven, and let sit while preparing the dressing. Whisk together the sesame oil, rice-wine vinegar, salt, and pepper in a small bowl. Open the packet carefully, and transfer the mixture to a serving plate, discarding the cooking juice. Drizzle with the dressing, and serve hot or at room temperature.

PLA GOONG (SPICY THAI SHRIMP SALAD)

Steps:

• Bring a pot of 3 quarts of water to a boil. (I like to salt the water like pasta water; Kanittanon does not add salt.)
• In a large bowl, combine the lime juice, fish sauce, sugar, nam prik pao and chopped chiles. Taste, and adjust with any of the ingredients, including salt. The sauce's flavor should be led by sourness and savoriness, but with a good balance of sweetness and heat.
• Cook the shrimp in the water until it just turns opaque, medium or medium-rare, about 1 minute. For better flavor, cook the shrimp with heads or shells on; peel when just cooled enough to handle.
• Add the shrimp to the sauce while still warm and toss; the lime will continue to "cook" the shrimp like a ceviche. Add the lemongrass, shallot, cilantro, mint leaves and makrut lime leaves, reserving a little of each herb for garnish. Toss, and place on a dish; scatter the reserved herbs on top. Serve immediately with hot rice.
