1/2 cup prepared fat-free Asian-style salad dressing, plus 3 tablespoons
1 pound medium shrimp, peeled and deveined (about 16 shrimp)
Salt and pepper to taste
1 red bell pepper, cut into julienne strips
3/4 cup green onions, thinly sliced, (about 8-10)
1 large English cucumber, peeled, seeded and thinly sliced
3/4 cups bean sprouts
1 carrot, peeled and cut into julienne strips, or grated
1/3 cup chopped cilantro
2 teaspoons grated fresh ginger
1 head butter lettuce
4 cups mixed Asian greens, i.e. mizuna, tat soi, red mustard, napa cabbage
Cilantro leaves for garnish
Preparation
Preheat oven to 350°F. Arrange walnuts in a single layer on a sheet pan and toast until lightly browned, about 5 -7 minutes. Cool.
Bring 6 cups of water to a boil. Add vermicelli rice noodles and cook for 3-4 minutes. Drain well, cool slightly, and toss with 1/2 cup dressing. Chill noodles.
Season shrimp lightly with salt and pepper. Thread shrimp on short bamboo skewers, allowing 2 per skewer. Coat a large nonstick skillet with cooking spray and place over medium-high heat. Sear shrimp in pan until pink, about 3 minutes per side. Brush shrimp with 2 tablespoons dressing. Set aside to cool.
Toss chilled rice noodles with 1/2 of the walnuts, bell pepper, green onions, cucumber, bean sprouts, carrot, cilantro, and ginger.
Wash butter lettuce and divide between 4 plates. Toss Asian greens with remaining tablespoon of dressing and arrange in butter lettuce cups. Place rice noodles next to greens. Arrange 2 skewers of shrimp on each salad. Sprinkle remaining walnuts overall. Garnish with cilantro leaves.
