Ingredients
1/4 cup gluten-free tamari or soy sauce
1/4 cup rice vinegar, divided
2 tablespoons toasted sesame oil
2 garlic cloves, minced
2 tablespoons honey
1 teaspoon Sriracha
1 cup peeled, seeded, and julienned cucumber
1 cup peeled and julienned carrots
1 cup julienned radishes
2 scallions, thinly sliced
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 pound brown rice spaghetti
1/2 pound shrimp, peeled and deveined
1 teaspoon sesame seeds (black or regular)
Directions
In a large bowl, whisk together the tamari, 1 tablespoon of the rice vinegar, sesame oil, minced garlic, honey, and Sriracha until well combined. Set the dressing aside.
In a separate bowl, combine the julienned cucumber, julienned carrots, julienned radishes, and sliced scallions. Add the remaining 3 tablespoons of rice vinegar and salt, then toss well. Let this vegetable mixture stand for 10 minutes at room temperature, tossing occasionally to allow flavors to meld.
Bring a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil. Add the brown rice spaghetti and cook according to package directions until al dente, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
During the final 2 minutes of cooking time, add the peeled and deveined shrimp directly to the pasta pot. Continue cooking until the shrimp are fully opaque and cooked through, reaching an internal temperature of 145°F.
Drain the noodle and shrimp mixture in a colander, then rinse thoroughly with cold water while shaking gently to remove excess water. This stops the cooking process and cools the noodles.
Transfer the cooled noodles and shrimp to the bowl containing the sesame dressing. Add the marinated vegetables with all their liquid and toss everything together until evenly coated.
Divide the noodle mixture among four serving bowls or plates. Sprinkle the sesame seeds over the top of each portion and serve immediately.
