• Fresh Shrimp: Rinse, peel, devein, and remove heads. Cut larger shrimp in half; leave smaller ones whole. Steam the shrimp instead of boiling to retain their natural sweetness.

Step 2: Make the Salad Dressing and Mix

• Place the jackfruit in a clean bowl, pour half of the dressing over it, and toss well to let the jackfruit absorb the flavors. Add the shrimp and pork belly, pour the remaining dressing over, and mix thoroughly. Chop the fresh herbs and Vietnamese coriander, sprinkle over the salad along with the roasted peanuts.
