Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Zesty Shrimp and Jicama Salad with Chile Vinegar Dressing.
Step 1
Start by whisking together the seasoned rice vinegar, white sugar, minced jalapeno, and chopped cilantro in a mixing bowl. Stir until the sugar is completely dissolved, creating a zesty dressing that will elevate your salad.
Step 2
Next, take the shredded jicama and place it in a resealable plastic bag. Pour in about one-third of the vinegar dressing, seal the bag tightly, and let it chill in the refrigerator for an hour. This will allow the jicama to soak up all those delicious flavors.
Step 3
In a separate resealable plastic bag, add the cooked shrimp along with another third of the dressing. Seal it up and refrigerate for the same hour. This step ensures that the shrimp are infused with the tangy goodness of the dressing.
Step 4
While the jicama and shrimp are marinating, prepare your salad plate. Arrange alternating slices of tomatillo and tomato around the edge, creating a colorful and inviting presentation.
Step 5
Once the hour is up, take the marinated jicama out of the fridge and mound it in the center of your beautifully arranged plate. Top it off with the marinated shrimp, allowing the vibrant colors to shine through.
Step 6
Finally, drizzle the remaining third of the dressing over the entire salad, adding that final touch of flavor. Serve immediately and enjoy the delightful combination of textures and tastes!
