Bursting with the bold flavors of ginger and sesame oil, this colorful salad makes a perfect lunch or light dinner. First, you will boil shrimp and sugar snap peas for one to two minutes until the shrimp turn bright pink and the snow peas are tender. Shrimp cooks quickly so the trick is to take them out before they turn rubbery and cool them in ice water so they don't cook further. Then we mix together mayonnaise, scallions, ginger and dark sesame oil to add a great asian flair to the shrimp. We served the shrimp over lettuce, but you could also make a sandwich
