Whisk together the soy sauce, lime juice, honey, sesame oil, and rice vinegar in a small bowl until emulsified. This will create the dressing. (Prep time: 5 minutes)

Step

Prepare the pomelo: Slice off the top and bottom. Score the peel vertically, being careful not to cut into the flesh. Use your fingers to peel away the rind and pith. Separate the segments, remove the membrane, and discard any seeds. Gently break the segments into bite-sized pieces. (Prep time: 15 minutes)

03

Step

5 mins

In a large bowl, combine the pomelo segments and chopped romaine lettuce. Arrange the cooked shrimp artfully on top. Garnish with chopped peanuts and green onion. (Prep time: 5 minutes)

Step

2 mins

Drizzle the dressing over the salad just before serving. Toss gently to combine, ensuring each element is lightly coated. Serve immediately and enjoy! (Prep time: 2 minutes)

For an extra layer of flavor, toast the peanuts lightly before chopping.
Feel free to adjust the amount of honey and lime juice to your preference. Taste and adjust as needed.
If pomelo is unavailable, substitute with grapefruit or a mix of grapefruit and orange segments.
For a spicier kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the dressing.
