  1. Make dressing: In a blender or food processor, pur\u00e9e dressing ingredients until smooth. (Or, for a chunkier texture, mince the garlic, chop the mint and whisk all ingredients together.) Set aside.<\/li>\n
  2. Make salad: In a medium skillet on medium, heat oil. Add shrimp and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Cook, turning halfway, until shrimp are pink and opaque, about 4 minutes.<\/li>\n
  3. In a large bowl, combine lettuce, sprouts, cucumbers, carrot, chile and peanuts. Top with shrimp and drizzle with dressing; toss to coat.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n","prep_time_in_minutes":"30","calories_in_grams":"234","fiber_content_in_grams":"4","publication_status_path":"\/recipes\/vietnamese-shrimp-salad","is_sponsored":"0","is_exclusive_content":"0","unsaturated_fat_content_in_grams":"","trans_fat_content_in_grams":"","cook_time_in_minutes":"","alternate_paths":false,"test_sync":"","post_video":false,"add_square_crop":false,"sponsored":false,"membership_content":false,"post_incontent_cta_disable":false,"exclude_post":false,"issue":{"issue":false}},"yoast_head":"\nVietnamese Shrimp Salad with Mint Chile Dressing - Better Nutrition<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"This Vietnamese shrimp salad has a nice bit of heat to it thanks to the fresh chile.
