This dish can be made with shrimp alone with ease. Placed on a bed of arugula, shredded carrots and cabbage with cucumber. Delicious and quick to make.
The dressing for this sounded delicious--I had to try it. My little urban garden needed some harvesting, so I made a bed of fresh lettuce, arugula, basil, mint, & parsley. I topped it with shredded carrot, cucumber, green cabbage, red bell pepper scallion, & chopped cashew. I dressed this salad with olive oil and lime. Then I made the sauce as directed, but I didn't have the variety of seafood (I wish I had!) I can attest that if you only have a white fish fillet, this is still exquisite.
Wonderful fresh recipe. Just set aside your (frozen) seafood from other recipes until you have your scallops, fish and shrimp. I served over romaine and thinly sliced green cabbage so I added some cashew-macadamia nut milk to the "dressing" to dress the greens. I'd use that as a dressing again yum. Also added some cucumber, diced pineapple and pom seeds-I had them and it made a nice pop of flavor and crunch.
