Shrimp Salad

Ingredients

• 125 g shrimp (frozen, shell removed)
• 70 g large red onions (1 large red onion)
• 1 red chili pepper
• 1 Lime
• 1 tbsp Maple Syrup
• Salt
• 1 tsp Rapeseed oil
• 0.5 melon (e.g., Charentais)
• 15 g roasted salted peanuts (1 tbsp)
• 0.5 bunch cilantro

Instructions

1. 1.

   Let the shrimp thaw on a large plate according to package instructions.

   Squeeze the lime. In a small bowl whisk together 2 tbsp lime juice with maple syrup, 2 tbsp water, salt, and diced chili.

5. 5.

   Make shallow cuts along the back of each thawed shrimp with a small knife to remove the black digestive tracts.

   While still warm, add the diced onion to the lime‑chili sauce and let it marinate for 10 minutes.

   In the meantime, use a spoon to remove seeds from the melon, cut into ~1 cm wide strips and peel them.

   Coarsely chop the peanuts with a large knife. Mix them into the shrimp mixture.

10. 10.

    Rinse the cilantro, shake dry, strip leaves, coarsely chop, and mix into the salad, seasoning with salt. Arrange the salad on plates with melon strips, garnish with onion rings, and serve.
