Ingredients

Shrimp

12 oz raw shrimp, peeled and deveined
1 tbsp olive oil
1 tsp soy sauce or coconut aminos for a soy-free option
½ tsp garlic powder

Salad

2 cups mixed greens
½ cup shredded red cabbage
½ cup sliced cucumber
¼ cup shredded carrots
¼ cup sliced red bell pepper
2 tbsp chopped green onions
2 tbsp chopped cilantro

Dressing

3 tbsp olive oil
1 tbsp rice vinegar
1 tbsp lime juice
1 tsp sesame oil
½ tsp grated ginger
½ tsp chili flakes optional

Instructions

Prepare the Shrimp: Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and add the olive oil. Toss the shrimp with soy sauce, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Once the skillet is hot, add the shrimp and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side or until they are pink and opaque. Remove from heat and let them cool.
Make the Dressing: In a mixing bowl, whisk together olive oil, rice vinegar, lime juice, sesame oil, grated ginger, chili flakes (if using), and a pinch of salt and pepper until well combined.
Assemble the Salads: Start by dividing the dressing evenly between two mason jars. Continue layering with red cabbage, cucumber, carrots, and red bell pepper.
Add Greens and Herbs: On top of the veggies, add the mixed greens, chopped green onions, and cilantro.
Top with Shrimp: Once the shrimp have cooled, divide them between the jars, placing them on top of the greens.
Seal and Store or Serve: Screw on the lids to seal the mason jars. If not serving immediately, store the salad jars in the refrigerator. When ready to eat, shake the jar to distribute the dressing and pour the salad into a bowl or eat straight from the jar.

Notes

Customize the level of spiciness by adjusting the amount of chili flakes to your preference. The salad can be prepped ahead and stored in the fridge for a quick grab-and-go option.
