Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Heat 1 tbsp oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering, about 90 seconds.

  2. Step 2

    Add shrimp in a single layer. Sear without moving for 90 seconds until edges turn pink.

  3. Step 3

    Flip shrimp and cook 60 seconds more until center is opaque. Transfer to a bowl.

  4. Step 4

    Whisk lime juice, fish sauce, and sliced chili in the same bowl with the shrimp.

  5. Step 5

    Toss in mint, cilantro, and shallot. Let sit 2 minutes so flavors meld.

  6. Step 6

    Arrange greens on plates and top with the warm shrimp mixture. Serve immediately.
