Preparation

Peel the cucumbers and carrots and then cut them lengthways into fine strips using a vegetable peeler. Alternatively, grate the vegetables or cut them into fine strips. Halve or quarter the cherry tomatoes. Place the vegetables in the serving bowl.
Lightly crush the peanuts with a mortar. Wash the coriander and basil and shake dry. Top the salad with this.
For the dressing, mix the juice of 3 limes, fish sauce, 50 ml oil, sugar and a little salt. Chop the coriander greens, meaning the leaves and stems. De-seed the chili peppers as desired (hot, hot, hot) and cut into fine rings. Either add the ingredients to the dressing or sprinkle them over the salad.
Get to the shrimp! Briefly fry or steam the shrimp in (approx. 20 ml, in cooking-German "a good shot") oil without the shell and set aside.
It is important to wash the rice several times before preparing it until the water is no longer murky! Then cook the rice according to the instructions in the rice cooker (fancy) or in the classic pot.
To serve, mix all the ingredients together in the serving bowl and mix with the dressing. Arrange the shrimp on the salad and season with a little salt. Garnish with the basil leaves and lime wedges and serve with rice!
