Prepare the ingredients & make the sauce
1 Prepare the ingredients & make the sauce

Fill a large pot 3/4 of the way up with water; cover and heat to boiling on high. Wash and dry the fresh produce. Cut out discard the core of the cabbage; thinly slice the leaves. Thinly slice the scallions, separating the white bottoms and hollow green tops. Roughly chop the peanuts. Zest the lime to get 1 teaspoon (or use the small side of a box grater). Quarter the lime. Cut off and discard the stems of the peppers; cut crosswise into 1/2-inch pieces. Thoroughly wash your hands immediately after handling. In a bowl, combine the sliced cabbage, pepper pieces, and sliced white bottoms of the scallions. Peel 1 clove of garlic; using a zester, finely grate into a paste (or use the small side of a box grater). In a bowl, whisk together the peanut butter spread, soy glaze, the juice of 2 lime wedges, 2 tablespoons of water, and as much of the curry paste as you’d like, depending on how spicy you’d like the dish to be. Pat the shrimp dry with paper towels (remove the tails, if desired). Place in a separate bowl. Add the lime zest, garlic paste, and a drizzle of olive oil; stir to combine.
