Shrimp Cellophane Noodle Salad

"From a cookbook with step by step photos and instructions (I ripped this out of it before getting rid of it) but I don't see the name on the pages. The cook's tip: Shrimp are available ready cooked and shelled. To cook shrimp, boil them for 2 minutes. Allow them to cool in the cooking liquid, then gently pull off the tail shell and twist off the body."

  1. Great!. I used mint flakes,dried cilantro flakes, ginger paste, lime zest fresh, with lime juice, a smidgin of cayenne pepper. The noodles, shrimp and vegies remain. The changes were made to the sauce with the rice vinegar with bonito flake sauce (fish sauce). Refrigerate overnight covered and it is more flavorable. Great recipe.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

<p>I've collected recipes since I was a teen. After all these years I'm trying to get all my index cards and clippings, that still sound interesting to me, posted here so that I can find them and eventually make them! <br /> <br />I've posted some of my Mom's recipes. I regret not having paid more attention to my Grandmothers' cooking. They made some dishes that I miss and there were/are no recipes for them. <br /> <br />I have a wonderful DH and 2 wonderful sons. They are thrilled that I found this site since they directly benefit from it! Before finding 'Zaar, I was less of a cook and more of a recipe collector but now I try many more things and we're having more fun in the kitchen (at least I am)! <br /> <br />Thanks for all your ratings, comments and help in the forums AND for posting so many great recipes. You've enhanced my cooking skills and expanded my horizons! I've learned so much. <br /> <br />For fun, I also like to read fiction, travel, see movies and shows, shop (and I love to browse thrift shops and rummage/garage sales for cookbooks, etc.). <br /> <br />The discovery of a new dish does more for the happiness of mankind than the discovery of a new star Brillat-Savarin</p>
