2 tablespoons chopped cilantro |
2 tablespoons chopped fresh mint leaves |
1 tablespoon minced fresh ginger |
1 pound large (26 to 30 per lb.) peeled, deveined cooked shrimp |
2 1/2 cups pink or ruby grapefruit segments (from 2 1/2 lbs. fruit), plus their juice |
about 1 tsp. sambal badjak* or 1/4 tsp. cayenne |
2 cups lightly packed watercress sprigs |
Directions:
1. Combine lime juice, fish sauce, cilantro, mint, and ginger in a large bowl.
