Shrimp Nectarine Thai Salad

Description
Here's a recipe I found in the paper - the salad looks very elegant, but can be put together in less than 20 minutes.



Ingredients

 * ⅓ cup oil
 * ⅓ cup lime juice
 * 2 tablespoons fresh mint, chopped
 * 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped
 * 1 – 2 jalapeno, chopped
 * ½ teaspoon sugar
 * 12 ounces cooked and cooled pasta
 * ½ cup chopped red onions
 * 1 cucumber, sliced
 * ¾ lb shelled cooked shrimp
 * 3 nectarines, sliced
 * lettuce leaves

Directions

 * 1) Combine oil, lime juice, mint, cilantro, jalapeno, and sugar and shake well to blend.
 * 2) Combine ½ of the oil mixture with the pasta and onion, and toss well.
 * 3) Line a serving platter with lettuce leaves, and place the pasta on the platter.
 * 4) Top with shrimp, nectarine, and cucumber and drizzle the remaining dressing over the salad.
 * 5) Top with crushed red pepper flakes, if desired.
