How to prepare Thai Shrimp and Squid Salad
-
Prepare the squid
First, clean the squid thoroughly, cut it into bite-sized pieces. Then, place a pan on the stove until it is hot, add a little cooking oil to the pan, then add the prepared squid and stir-fry quickly, making sure to turn the heat up high while stir-frying.
Stir-fry quickly for about 5 minutes, then turn off the heat; otherwise, the squid will lose its sweetness.
-
Prepare the shrimp
Clean the shrimp thoroughly as well, prepare a pot of water, and steam the shrimp until cooked. When you see the shrimp turn red, it’s done.
Remove the shrimp, let them cool, then peel off the shells and remove the heads, placing them on a separate plate.
-
Prepare the other ingredients
Slice the chili into long, thin strips.
Grate the carrot, mix it with a little sugar to soften it, and squeeze it dry.
Roast the peanuts until fragrant and golden, then shell them and crush them finely.

Mixing the salad
