  • Add the olive oil to a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Then add the shrimp and cook for 1 to 2 minutes on each side until the shrimps become opaque. Remove from the heat and set aside.
  • Place all the dressing ingredients into a small bowl and whisk together to make the dressing.
  • To assemble the salad, place the shredded cabbage, carrot, salad leaves, green onions, cooked shrimp, and ¾ of the herbs into a large bowl. Pour over the salad dressing and mix well. Divide the salad equally between 4 plates and top with the remaining herbs. Serve the salad with a wedge of lime.
