Ingredients

Main Ingredients (2 servings)

  • Peeled shrimp 100g
  • Lettuce 200-250g
  • Tomato 100g

Seasonings

  • [A] Mayonnaise 60g
  • [A] Ketchup 15g
  • [A] MSG(Ajinomoto) (MSG) 5 shakes
  • [A] Miso 1 tsp
  • [A] Sugar 1 tsp
  • [A] Garlic powder 7 shakes
  • [A] Chili powder 3 shakes
  • [A] Salt and pepper 3 shakes
  • [A] Unsweetened soy milk or milk 1 tsp
  • Paprika powder to taste
  • Salt to taste

Steps

  1. In a bowl, add water and 1 tsp salt, then soak 100g peeled shrimp to thaw for 15-20 minutes in water with a salinity similar to seawater. [Pro Tip!] Once thawed, immediately remove from water, rinse to remove excess salt. Soaking too long will make it too salty.
  2. Core the growing point of 200-250g lettuce and stuff with kitchen paper. [Pro Tip!] It's best to peel off and use the tougher outer leaves of the lettuce.
  3. Tear the lettuce by hand into pieces as finely as possible. [Pro Tip!] Tearing by hand creates jagged edges, allowing the dressing to cling better.
  4. Submerge the torn lettuce in cold water. In summer, it's good to use ice water.
  5. Remove the core from 100g tomato and cut into bite-sized pieces.
  6. In a bowl, combine 60g mayonnaise, 15g ketchup, 5 shakes MSG(Ajinomoto) (MSG), 1 tsp miso, 1 tsp sugar, 7 shakes garlic powder, 3 shakes chili powder, 3 shakes salt and pepper, and 1 tsp unsweetened soy milk or milk. Mix well, making sure to dissolve the miso. [Pro Tip!] Rub the miso against the side of the bowl while mixing to ensure it dissolves completely and doesn't clump.
  7. Thoroughly rinse and gently rub the thawed shrimp in fresh water to remove excess salt.
  8. Thinly slice the washed peeled shrimp in half and remove the digestive tract (vein). [Pro Tip!] Slicing in half gives them the texture and appearance of small shrimp, and makes it easier to remove the vein.
  9. After shaking the water-soaked lettuce in a bowl to drain excess water, gently rub it with thick kitchen paper to completely dry. [Pro Tip!] Thoroughly drying with kitchen paper will give it a crisp, restaurant-quality texture.
  10. Quickly blanch the cut shrimp in boiling water with a small amount of salt for about 1 minute.
  11. Immediately cool the blanched shrimp under running water.
  12. Arrange the drained lettuce on a plate, then top with the sliced tomato and chilled shrimp.
  13. Drizzle with the prepared dressing and sprinkle with paprika powder to taste, if desired.
