Peanut Free Ginger-Lime Mango Shrimp Salad
Bright, tropical, and packed with fresh flavor, this shrimp salad is the kind of dish that feels like a restaurant meal you somehow pulled off on a weeknight. Juicy seared shrimp get a warm, golden coating of turmeric and ginger before hitting a hot skillet, and the result is beautifully caramelized bites that pair perfectly with sweet mango and crisp shredded cabbage. The dressing ā built from fresh lime juice, coconut aminos, grated ginger, and a touch of honey ā ties everything together with a punchy, citrusy kick that keeps you going back for another forkful. Coconut aminos stand in for soy sauce here, delivering that savory depth without any of the usual label-reading stress. Fresh cilantro and torn mint scattered over the top add an herby brightness that makes the whole bowl feel alive. This is the kind of salad that genuinely doesn't feel like a compromise ā it's vibrant, satisfying, and completely free of peanuts or tree nut ingredients from start to finish.
