We recommend you get your ingredients ready before you start cooking. Once you're ready, here are the steps to making this delicious recipe

How to Make

  • Step 1: Combine water, lemongrass, bay leaves, garlic, and salt in a large saucepan. Bring to a boil over high; reduce heat to medium, and simmer 20 minutes. Remove pan from heat; add shrimp, and cover. Let shrimp stand until they curl and turn pink, about 3 minutes. Remove shrimp from liquid, and cool on a wire rack on a baking sheet.

  • Step 2: Break wakame into pieces as needed, and place in a large bowl with boiling water to cover. Let stand 10 minutes. Drain and chop; set aside.

  • Step 3: Meanwhile, stir together soy sauce, rice vinegar, honey, Sriracha, lemon juice, ginger, and shallot in a small bowl. Gradually whisk in sesame and canola oils.

  • Step 4: Cut shrimp in half, and toss with 2 tablespoons of the soy sauce dressing; let stand 5 minutes. Combine wakame, mixed greens, and edamame in a large bowl; toss with 2 tablespoons of the soy sauce dressing.

  • Step 5: Divide greens evenly among 6 plates. Top each with 1/6th of the shrimp. Sprinkle with sesame seeds, and chives or scallions. Drizzle with remaining soy sauce dressing, if desired. Serve immediately.
