Step 1

Combine the Garlic Shrimp ingredients in a small bowl and set aside for 10 minutes.

Step 2

Combine the Dressing ingredients in a small jar, give it a shake then set aside for 10 minutes.

Step 3

Heat a skillet / fry pan over high heat. Add the shrimp, scraping in the olive oil and garlic from the sides of the bowl. Cook for 2 minutes, or until browned and the shrimp is just cooked through. (Note 2)

Step 4

Remove the prawns from the skillet onto a plate.

Step 5

Prepare the vermicelli noodles according to the packet directions. I like to just soak them in hot tap water for a few minutes, this ensures they don't overcook. Then drain the noodles.

Step 6

Arrange the noodles and remaining Salad ingredients on a large plate (like the photo) or toss together in a bowl. Top with prawns (warm or at room temperature). Drizzle over the Dressing (or toss through), or you can serve the Dressing on the side.
