Milkstreet Thai Grapefruit Salad with Shrimp

I watched this being made during a live class at Milkstreet.  If you haven't heard of Milkstreet, or think it's just the name of a public television show or podcast you will be delighted to learn they have a wonderful online program!  https://www.177milkstreet.com/  Clearly written and tested recipes, magazine, live demos, live classes, and self-paced lessons too!  They have a 12-week trial that gives you access to pretty much everything for just a $1 now - the full year is $59.

I believe their recipe is behind a firewall, so for this blog I will just record my notes on the techniques and order to process the food. (link below just in case they open it up)


Due to what instacart sent me, I drained and rinsed cans of red grapefuit.

Then I cooked the shrimp by poaching it in water that had been boiling.

Remove the pot with the boiling water from the heat and then add fish sauce*, and shrimp.  When cooked, remove from the water.  Then while the shrimp cool, put shallots in the hot water to cook a bit. Slice the shrimp. (Or put in at the same time and just pick out the shrimp to slice.)

Make the dressing: fish sauce, lime juice, sugar, garlic paste, thai chili, cashews 

Handy replacement for fish sauce - soy sauce.

Combine three mixtures (grapefruit, shrimp/shallot, and dressing together - serve.  Add and mix in the cilantro and then garnish with more cashews on the top.

Coconut would be a good addition - but I prefer cashews to peanuts.
