Asian “Fabuloso” Radish and Shrimp Salad

Asian “Fabuloso” radish and shrimp salad in a glass bowl on a table.

It’s in the name, this fabulous radish is the one you long for, crisp bite and spicy flavor. It pairs nicely here with shrimp but is a treat on its own, too.

Serves 4 as an appetizer

Ingredients

  • 6 'Fabuloso' radishes ¾ pound shrimp – medium (26-30 count). Cooked, shelled, chilled
  • ½ small red onion, sliced or pickled red onion
  • ½ Tbs finely grated fresh ginger
  • ¼ Tbs five spice powder
  • 2 Tbs rice vinegar
  • 2 Tbs honey
  • ¼ Tbs kosher salt
  • 1 ½ Tbs sesame oil
  • ¼ cup Thai basil leaves for garnish

Instructions

  1. Wash, dry, and thinly slice the radishes. Next, arrange them on a small platter or in a large shallow bowl with the cooked shrimp and sliced red onions.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk together ginger, the five spices, rice vinegar, honey, and a pinch of salt. Pour the dressing over the radishes and shrimp.
  3. Finish with a drizzle with sesame oil and fresh Thai basil.
