Method
 

Preparation
  1. Begin by shredding the cabbage and carrots using a sharp knife or a food processor, aiming for uniform pieces. This should take about 5 minutes.
  2. In a skillet, heat a teaspoon of oil over medium-high heat. Add raw shrimp and sauté for 3-4 minutes until they turn pink and opaque. If using pre-cooked shrimp, heat for about 1-2 minutes. Once ready, remove from heat and allow to cool.
  3. In a small bowl, combine peanut butter, rice vinegar, soy sauce, honey, sesame oil, fresh lime juice, and minced garlic. Whisk together for about 2-3 minutes until smooth and creamy.
  4. Add cooked shrimp to the bowl with the shredded vegetables. Drizzle the creamy peanut dressing over and toss gently for 1-2 minutes until evenly coated.
  5. Top with chopped fresh mint, cilantro, and a sprinkle of roasted peanuts. Serve immediately for best texture and freshness.
