Paleo pro tip: a sprinkling of garlicky toasted peanuts adds extra protein to any diet-conscious dish, plus some richly textured crunch. It’s the perfect garnish for a speedy Vietnamese supper that shines brightly with fresh mint, lime juice and honey. Load the salad of baby greens, cabbage and carrots (kindly pre-cut to save time and effort) with juicy lemongrass-spiced seared shrimp.

Preparation
Toast the peanuts
In a large pan (non-stick if possible), heat a drizzle of oil on medium. Add the peanuts and ½ the garlic. Toast, stirring frequently, 1 to 2 min., until lightly browned and fragrant. Transfer to a bowl. Wipe out and reserve the pan.
Mise en place
Pick the mint leaves off the stems; roughly chop the leaves. Pat the shrimp dry with paper towel (remove the shells from the tails if desired); season with ⅔ of the spices and S&P.
Cook the shrimp
In the reserved pan, heat a drizzle of oil on medium. Add the remaining garlic and sauté, 30 sec. to 1 min., until fragrant. Add the shrimp* and cook, 1 to 2 min. per side, until opaque and cooked through. Add ½ the mint; stir well.
Make the salad
Meanwhile, juice the lime. In a large bowl, combine the lime juice, honey and 2 tbsp oil (double for 4 portions). Add the cabbage, carrots, kale, remaining mint and spices, and S&P.
Plate your dish
Divide the salad between your plates. Top with the shrimp. Garnish with the peanuts. Bon appétit!
