This recipe comes by way of one of our customers.  It makes a tasty and filling meal for two or accompanying side dish for four.  You could easily double the recipe and serve this at a buffet.


  1. 2-3 oz uncooked linguine or spaghettini

  2. 1/2 cup shredded carrots

  3. 1/2 pound (225gr) cooked, peeled shrimp

  4. 1 - 1 1/2 cups thinly sliced Boston Bib or Romaine lettuce   


  5. Sauce:

  6. 1/4 cup fresh lime juice, about one lime

  7. 2 TBS chopped fresh cilantro

  8. 1 TBS sliced green onion

  9. 2 TBS fish sauce

  10. 2 1/2 tsp sugar

  11. 2 tsp vegetable oil

  12. 1 tsp grated fresh peeled ginger

  13. 2 garlic cloves, minced

  14. 1/4 cup chopped dry roasted peanuts


Cook the pasta noodles and carrots in plenty of salted boiling water until done.  Drain and rinse well with cold water to cool.  Set aside.


In a large bowl, whisk together the sauce ingredients.  Add the shrimp and lettuce.  Pour over noodles and carrots and toss well.  Serve and enjoy!


You could substitute cooked chicken breast for the shrimp or even use a combination.  Tofu would also work well with this dish.


Pair with a Sauvignon Blanc or a crisp Pinot Gris.
