Due to the milder than usual late spring/early summer, and dinners like this Shrimp, Sugar Snap Pea and Radish Salad, which required minimal cooking, we just turned on our air-conditioning a couple of days ago. For the beginning of July in Arkansas that is unusual, but for the most part we were very comfortable, keeping the doors and windows wide open, and taking advantage of the gentle breezes out on the back deck and down by the pool. However, there were a couple of times I gathered the kids in the car and headed for an air-conditioned destination – usually involving the extra chill of ice-cream to cool us down.

Shrimp, Sugar Snap Pea and Radish Salad with Sesame Dressing

shrimp sugar snap pea salad

1 pound medium shrimp, shelled and deveined

1 cup sugar snap peas

6 to 8 radishes, thinly sliced

2 green onions, thinly sliced

1 cup shelled edamame, thawed

1/3 cup rice vinegar

1 tablespoon canola oil

1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil

1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 1/2 to 2 tablespoons toasted sesame seeds

Bring a large saucepan of water to a boil. Add the shrimp, cook the shrimp for 2 minutes then drain.

Toss together the shrimp, sugar snap peas, radishes, green onion and edamame.

In a small bowl, whisk together the vinegar, canola oil, sesame oil, ginger and salt.

Pour the dressing over the salad and toss to coat. Sprinkle with sesame seeds and toss until they are evenly distributed.

Enjoy!

Thinking of all those who have served in the Armed Forces on this Memorial Day.

Although this holiday typically signals the beginning of the summer vacation season – outdoor cooking, being by the water, boating, picnicking, sunscreen and bug spray, the kids in our district were in school today, making up one of the days they were at home over the winter, due to inclement weather.

However, we barbecued with friends over the weekend, camped and spent a lot of time beside, on, and in the lake, so they were able to have a taste of summer, before being dropped at the school doors this morning.

The three coleslaw recipes below are all delicious, and would be wonderful and welcome at any celebration.

 Colorful Coleslaw

3 tablespoons grainy mustard 2 tablespoons honey 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice 2 tablespoons cider vinegar 2 tablespoons olive oil salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste 1/8 head red cabbage, cored and thinly sliced 1/8 head green cabbage, cored and thinly sliced 1 carrot, shredded 1 green pepper, cored and diced 1/2 fennel bulb, halved, cored and thinly sliced 1/4 cup fresh cilantro leaves, chopped 1 tablespoon poppy seeds In a large serving bowl, whisk together the mustard, honey, lime juice, vinegar, oil, salt and pepper. Add the cabbages, carrot, green pepper, fennel, cilantro and poppy seeds, and toss well to combine. Adjust seasonings as desired. Enjoy! and please share recipedoodle with your friends!
