Spicy Ginger Teriyaki Shrimp Rainbow Salad

Recipe by House Chef, Abbie Leeson
Learning through travel, Abbie has eaten her way through nearly 60 countries. Australia, Finland, Morocco, Japan and France - a few of her culinary favorites. She's passionate about taking ginger into unexpected places, while still revisiting the classics like her beloved Ultimate Chewy Ginger Snaps. Favorite culinary book: Salt, Fat, Acid, Heat. Favorite moment with a fellow chef: Dinner with Julia Child, 1992. Actually, she was at the next table. We told the waiter, "We'll have what she's having."

recipe note

This drink is especially delightful when foamed with a milk frother or topped with frothed vanilla creamer. If you don't have a frother, consider adding one to your arsenal. They are compact, easy to use and instantly level up coffees, teas, cocktails and more.
