  • If you're drawn to out-of-the-ordinary, exotic food, this recipe is for you. Give this Vietnamese shrimp salad with peppers and carrots a try — you won't be sorry. Start by slicing the shallots and tossing them in flour, then shaking off the excess. Pour oil into a skillet and heat it, add the shallots, and fry for about three minutes until they turn crisp and golden. Lift them out with a slotted spoon and set them on a paper towel to drain, then let them cool. Put the shrimp in a bowl and cover them with the Thai dressing to marinate. After 15 minutes, drain off the dressing, pat the shrimp dry, and toss them with a little oil. Sear the shrimp briefly in a skillet — a couple of minutes is plenty; they should turn pink. Once cooked, transfer them to a salad bowl. Cut the carrots, seeded bell pepper, cucumbers, red onion, mint, chili, and cilantro, and toss everything together with the shrimp. Finally, add the crispy shallots. The salad is ready to serve.
