  • 1 garlic clove chopped
  • 1 jalapeno pepper seeded and chopped
  • 1/4 cup fresh lime juice
  • 2 teaspoons fish sauce or soy sauce
  • 1/2 teaspoon sriracha
  • 1 tablespoon creamy peanut butter
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons sesame oil
  • 1/2 cup matchstick carrots or 2 grated carrots
  • 1/2 cucumber peeled, seeded, and thinly sliced
  • 1 cup finely shredded cabbage
  • 3/4 to 1 pound cooked shrimp peeled and deveined
  • 1/4 cup chopped roasted peanuts

Instructions

  1. Cook pasta according to package instructions. Drain and rinse.
  2. Add cilantro, garlic, jalapeno, lime juice, fish sauce, sriracha, peanut butter, honey, and sesame oil to a blender. Blend until smooth to make a vinaigrette.
  3. Add the cooked pasta, carrots, cucumber, cabbage, shrimp, and vinaigrette to a large bowl. Toss to combine.

Recipe Notes

Make extra vinaigrette to store separately if you plan to refrigerate leftovers and serve later. The pasta will soak up the vinaigrette and needs additional before serving again.
