Sweet and crunchy, this refreshing salad holds up well for 2 days in the fridge. Slice the cabbage as thinly as possible so that it melds with the noodles. Thaw frozen shrimp quickly by placing them in a colander and running cool water over them for a few minutes until soft. Drain and you’re good to go.
