As originally conceived this was a Mexican salad, then when I smelled the basil in the garden it became a Thai Salad and now I am giving credit where credit is due, Steve from da van - yea for carpool brainstorms!
1 can yellow corn
1 can garbonzo beans (aka chickpeas)
8oz peeled, cooked, deveined frozen shrimp
1 lime
1 Tbs honey
1/2 tsp thai red chili powder
1/2 tsp lemongrass curry powder
dash of salt
3 large leaves, fresh basil
1/2 jalepano
2 small zuchini or summer squash (about 3 cups sliced)
1/4 of a red onion
avocado
lettuce
1. combine juice of lime, honey and spices in a small bowl (suggest chili powder and cayenne pepper if you don't have a collection of odd spices you've been waiting to use).
2.Thaw the shrimp (I soak 'em in hot water) and put them to marinate in the honey-lime mixture.
3. drain and rinse the corn and beans and put them in a large bowl. Dice the onion and jalepaneo very fine (to taste) and add them. Cut zuchini/squash into chunks and add to the vegtables.
4. add the shrimp and mix well.
5. chop basil finely and mix into salad
6. serve on a bed of lettuce topped with avacodo
Nutrition ( per serving without avacado or lettuce, above amounts makes aprox 4 servings, 2 cups each. )
