MINT-MARINATED SHRIMP WITH GLASS NOODLES

Steps:

• Combine shrimp, mint, garlic, lemon juice, and 1/4 cup olive oil in a medium bowl. Cover, and refrigerate for 1 hour.
• Meanwhile, whisk together lime juice, fish sauce, chili sauce, vegetable oil, and sugar. Let stand until ready to use.
• Place noodles in a large bowl. Bring a pot of water to a boil; pour over noodles. Let stand until softened, 6 to 8 minutes. Drain, and rinse under cold water.
• Remove shrimp from marinade, and season with salt and cayenne. Heat remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add shrimp in a single layer. Cook until golden and cooked through, about 1 minute per side.
• Divide noodles among 4 serving bowls. Top with shrimp, cucumber, and chile. Drizzle lime juice mixture over the top, and serve with lime wedges.

VIETNAMESE SHRIMP AND GLASS NOODLE SALAD

Steps:

• To make the Vietnamese Dressing, simply mix all the ingredients together. This will keep very well in a tightly sealed jar in the refrigerator for at least a week.
• To make the salad, marinate the shrimp in 1/2 cup of the Vietnamese Dressing. While this is going on, soak the noodles in freshly boiled water according to packet instructions. Once re-hydrated, refresh the noodles in cold water, then drain. Put the sugar snaps and bean sprouts into a colander and pour over freshly boiled water from a kettle. Rinse them with cold water and drain well, just shaking the colander, so they're not actually wet.
• In a large bowl, mix the marinated shrimp with the drained noodles, scallions, sugar snaps, and bean sprouts. Dress with 2 tablespoons more of the Vietnamese Dressing; add more dressing, to taste, if desired.
• Sprinkle over the chopped cilantro and toss everything together well before arranging onto a large plate.

SHRIMP AND MANGO SALAD WITH GLASS NOODLES

• While noodles are soaking, combine shrimp, mango, scallions, basil, and chile in another large bowl.
• Stir together vinegar, sugar, and salt in a measuring cup until sugar is dissolved, then toss half of sauce with noodles and half with shrimp salad.
• Serve noodles topped with shrimp salad.

MARINATED SHRIMP WITH ANGEL-HAIR PASTA

Steps:

• In medium non-metallic bowl, combine shrimp with all remaining ingredients except pasta.
• Marinate at room temp for 30 minutes.
• Drain shrimp and reserve marinade.
• Place reserved marinade in lg skillet and bring to boil over med-high heat; cook until reduced to 1/2 cup.
• While marinade is reducing, bring 8 cups water to boil; prepare to do next two steps simultaneously (will want to wait until sauce is nearly reduced to put pasta into boiling water).
• Cook pasta until tender-firm, approx 3-4 minute.
• As soon as pasta is placed in boiling water, add shrimp back into simmering marinade, so that pasta and shrimp are cooking at same time.
• Toss shrimp continuously in marinade until hot, firm, and opaque; do not overcook!
• Drain pasta and place on warm platter; top with shrimp and marinade.
• Serve at once.
