Shrimp And Broccoli Noodle Salad 30 Minutes Or Less Recipes

SHRIMP AND BROCCOLI LO MEIN

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook as the label directs. Drain and transfer to a large bowl.
• Meanwhile, heat a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add 2 teaspoons vegetable oil, then add half each of the scallions, ginger and garlic; stir-fry until the scallions are wilted, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the shrimp and stir-fry until just cooked through, about 5 minutes. Transfer the shrimp mixture to a plate using a slotted spoon.
• Add the remaining 2 teaspoons vegetable oil to the skillet. Add the remaining scallions, ginger and garlic; stir-fry 1 to 2 minutes, then add the broccoli and cook, tossing to coat, 1 to 2 more minutes. Add 1/2 cup broth. Cover and cook until the broccoli is just tender, 5 to 7 minutes.
• Whisk the cornstarch and 1 tablespoon water in a bowl, then whisk in the remaining 1 1/2 cups broth, the soy sauce and sesame oil. Return the shrimp to the skillet; add the broth mixture. Bring to a simmer and cook, stirring, until thickened, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the pasta and toss to coat.

SHRIMP AND NOODLE SALAD

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Trim the top and bottom of the grapefruit, then slice off the peel and white pith. Hold the grapefruit over a bowl and cut out the segments, letting them drop into the bowl; tear into bite-size pieces. Squeeze the juices from the membranes into the bowl.
• Make the dressing: Remove 2 tablespoons of the grapefruit juice to a large bowl. Stir in the fish sauce, all but 1 teaspoon of the chili sauce, 1 teaspoon ginger, the lime juice and 2 tablespoons water.
• Heat the vegetable oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the shallots and cook, stirring, until starting to crisp, 3 to 4 minutes. Remove the shallots to a paper towel-lined plate to drain. Pour the oil from the skillet into the fish sauce dressing, leaving a coating of oil in the skillet.
• Season the shrimp with salt and pepper in a bowl. Toss with the remaining 1 teaspoon chili sauce and 2 teaspoons ginger. Add the shrimp to the skillet and cook over medium-high heat, stirring, until cooked through, 1 to 2 minutes per side. Remove to a plate.
• When the water comes to a boil, remove from the heat and submerge the noodles; stir until tender, 3 minutes. Drain in a sieve and rinse under cold water; shake out as much water as possible.
• Toss the noodles, slaw mix and mint with the dressing. Divide among bowls. Top with the shrimp, grapefruit and shallots.
