Low Carb Vietnamese Shrimp Salad With Fish Sauce Dressing. So many subtle differences between the foods of the Thai, Japanese, Korean, Vietnamese, South, East, and confusing it all there are Southeastern Asians yet they also have so many things in common and one of those things is major flavor. Some are predominantly salty, some are fiery, some are sweet, and many are a combination of all three. This Vietnamese Shrimp Salad With Fish Sauce Dressing is a bit of all three. There is a lot more to the geography of Asia and it can be pretty complicated so, if you want more geographical information check the internet and you can start here and if you are interested in a 13 bottle comparison of fish sauces you can see this very interesting read here. As you can see from the larger bowls I eat this as dinner on hot summer evenings.
