👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. 1--- Things to prepare before assembling salad: ---
2. 2Cut the dragon fruit in half and then peel the skin off and cut the flesh into large cubes. Set aside and let them chill in the refrigerator while you prepare other things
3. 3Prepare the dressing by mixing all the ingredients in a bowl and set aside
4. 4I steam the shrimp with the shells on, on high heat for 2 minutes or until they are cooked through
5. 5Peel off the skin after they have cooled down a little bit. Steaming the shrimp with the shells on is to prevent the shrimp from curling. It's really just for presentation and makes the shrimp looks bigger
