Sesame Singapore Shrimp Salad
This refreshing pasta salad combines tender cooked shrimp, sweet diced mango, and crunchy peanuts. It relies on a convenient boxed pasta mix and pre-shredded coleslaw to keep prep time to a minimum. Tossed in a savory toasted sesame dressing with a hint of red pepper flakes, every bite delivers a satisfying balance of sweet and spicy flavors. Serve it right away for a quick weeknight dinner, or chill it for your next summer picnic.
