Ingredients

• 1 lb Shrimp, peeled and deveined
• 2 packs Ramen noodles (uncooked, seasoning packet discarded)
• 4 cups Coleslaw mix (shredded cabbage and carrots)
• 3 stalks Green onions, thinly sliced
• 0.5 cup Slivered almonds, toasted
• 2 tablespoons Sesame seeds, toasted
• 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons Sesame oil
• 3 tablespoons Rice vinegar
• 1 tablespoon Honey
• 1 clove Garlic, minced
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Bring a medium pot of water to a boil and cook the ramen noodles for 3 minutes or until just tender. Drain, rinse under cold water, and set aside.

Step 2

Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and lightly season the shrimp with salt and pepper. Cook the shrimp for 2-3 minutes per side or until opaque and cooked through. Remove from heat and let cool.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, combine the coleslaw mix, cooked ramen noodles, sliced green onions, toasted slivered almonds, and toasted sesame seeds.

Step 4

In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, sesame oil, rice vinegar, honey, minced garlic, salt, and pepper to make the dressing.

Step 5

Add the cooked shrimp to the large mixing bowl and pour the dressing over the salad ingredients.

Step 6

Toss everything together gently to combine and ensure the dressing coats all the ingredients.

Step 7

Refrigerate the salad for 15-20 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together, or serve immediately for a fresher taste.

Step 8

Garnish with additional sesame seeds or green onions if desired and serve.
