Many of the options you’ll find here are spicy, and even the ones that aren’t “heat spicy” still have plenty of typical Indian spices to liven up the flavor without adding any heat. Some of the recipes call for shrimp, while others use prawns instead.

With that in mind, you can easily use shrimp in recipes calling for prawns and prawns in recipes that ask for shrimp....

THE ASIAN SALAD DRESSING The Asian salad dressing I use in this salad is based on a recipe by David Chang of Momofuku....
