This salad is absolutely delicious thanks to the dried Shrimps. Dried and shelled Shrimps might be an unfamiliar ingredient for you, but it is available from most Asian grocery stores. Dried Shrimps are quite hard, so you need to soften them by soaking in boiling water. Chop up the softened dried Shrimps and add them to the salad. I am confident you would love the flavour. Those green leaves on top? Yes, they are Coriander. Don’t worry, you don’t need to add them.
