Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Begin by shredding the cabbage and carrots using a sharp knife or a food processor, which will take about 5 minutes.
  2. If using raw shrimp, heat a non-stick pan over medium-high heat and add a splash of oil. Cook the shrimp for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until they turn pink and opaque.
  3. In a small bowl, whisk together rice vinegar, smooth peanut butter, soy sauce, honey, sesame oil, fresh lime juice, and minced garlic.
  4. In your large bowl with the shredded cabbage and carrots, add the cooked shrimp, diced red bell pepper, cucumber, fresh cilantro, and chopped mint.
  5. Pour your freshly made peanut dressing over the combined salad ingredients and toss everything together gently.
  6. Just before serving, sprinkle chopped roasted peanuts on top for a delightful crunch.
