How To Make crunchy shrimp salad

  • Step 1
    Open ramen noodle packages. Set aside seasoning packets aside to be used in the dressing. Crumble noodles in a zip lock bag. Remove excess air from bag and set aside at room temperature.
  • Step 2
    Dressing: Add seasoning packets from ramen noodles, oil, vinegar, and sugar to a jar or cruet. Cover and shake well. Set aside.
  • Step 3
    Salad: Combine broccoli slaw, apple, sunflower kernels, cranberries or raisins, almonds, bell pepper and shrimp in a salad bowl. Add dressing. You can refrigerate this and hold for one day if making ahead. Refrigeration also allows flavors to marry.
  • Step 4
    Sprinkle with crumbled noodles at the last moment just before serving. Toss well. Serve and enjoy!
