How to make grapefruit salad with dried shrimp

Peel and core the grapefruit, remove the segments, and separate the segments into bite-sized pieces (the size of the grapefruit segments should be similar to that of dried shrimp).

Soak dried shrimp in warm water for 15 - 20 minutes to soften, then remove dirt from the back, wash and drain (you can crush the shrimp a bit to make it easier to absorb the spices).

Make the sauce

- Take 2 teaspoons of lemon juice (if the grapefruit is sour, take less)

- 1 tablespoon sugar

- 1 tablespoon fish sauce.

Put everything in a bowl and stir until the sugar dissolves.

Stir-fried dried shrimp

- Heat 1 teaspoon of cooking oil over heat.

- Pour dried shrimp into the pan and stir.

Add 1 teaspoon minced onion.

1 teaspoon minced garlic.

1 teaspoon fish sauce

All islands are within 2 minutes then removed from heat.

Mix salad

Put dried shrimp and grapefruit in a bowl. When about to eat, when pouring the sauce over, sprinkle chopped basil on top for flavor.

Pour the dried shrimp pomelo salad onto a plate, sprinkle with fried onions, roasted peanuts, and a few slices of red chili for decoration.

Tips for delicious and beautiful grapefruit salad

- Some people like to soak vegetables in ice water after processing (or put them in the refrigerator for a while to increase their crispness).

- Mix ingredients about 10 minutes before eating with a spoon and fork to keep food from getting crushed.

- After mixing, add the grapefruit segments and stir gently so that the new grapefruit segments do not get crushed.

Pomelo salad is made of dried shrimp (or shrimp and meat) and is sweet and sour. It is delicious and attractive thanks to its characteristic aroma, beautifully decorated, and colorful.

Grapefruit pulp and ingredients (shrimp, meat, onion, carrot, cucumber) are rich, soaked in sour, salty, sweet, fatty and aromatic flavors of peanuts and sesame mixed together, very attractive and stimulating to the taste buds.

A delicious grapefruit salad needs to be dry, not watery, and the grapefruit still has its segments intact.

- Depending on regional taste, you can change the ingredients (like using ham instead of meat, or tearing a little dried squid, dried beef, dried snakehead fish into the dish to make it more flavorful, or adding jicama, bean sprouts, carrots, green mango to make a delicious salad).
