Shrimp Larb

4.60 from 5 votes

This is a bright and fresh Thai shrimp dish that requires no cooking and comes together quickly and easily. Pre-cooked shrimp is seasoned with a sweet, sour, and umami sauce then served on a bed of lettuce and fresh herbs to brighten it up. A few nuts add a nice textural contrast.
