Tiger Shrimp and Glass Noodle Salad
Since posting the very simple recipe for Crispy Cod Nuggets a couple of weeks ago, I’ve continued to test different foods in the Philips AirFryer. I had equal success with cracker coated chicken strips and I’ve found it great for things like chicken wings where, like the chicken tenders, I use a spray bottle to spritz the outside of flour and spice dredged wings to create crispy wings with next to no added fat. I even baked a half recipe of my Blueberry Snack Cake in the available baking pan that can be purchased as an available accessory. It turned out beautifully and baked quite quickly too. I last used used it to air fry julienned vegetables and broccoli florets to add to a warm rice salad, which was so delicious. My son has taken to reheating things like frozen individual pizzas and crispy chicken tenders in the AirFryer because they reheat quickly and don’t turn out soggy, like in the microwave.
None other that Chef Gordon Ramsay himself, has developed recipes for the Philips Air Fryer too and I was provided with a couple of them when I received mine. One of them was this Tiger Shrimp and Glass Noodle Salad, using the Air Fryer to perfectly cook the plump shrimp in only 4 minutes. The hot air using Philips Rapid Air Technology, circulating around all sides of the shrimp at the same time, cooked them perfectly from the outside to the centre. The spicy shrimp then sit on top of the delicious noodle salad which you could even make a couple of hours in advance and leave the shrimp until literally the last minute because they cook so quickly.
I used rice vermicelli noodles because that’s what I had on hand and I did substitute hot paprika for the pigment d’Espelette which I would have been unlikely to find locally. I think you could use any favourite noodle really, just be careful not to overcook them. Noodle salad needs the noodles to have a little bite to them, so be careful to cook them to just al dente. I also could not find a green papaya, so I bought a ripe one and the little added sweetness it gave to the salad was very nice indeed.
The result was so tasty! Spouse and I even shared the leftovers the next day and it was still delicious. I didn’t expect to use the Philps AirFryer as much as I did the last couple of weeks but because of it’s versatility in air frying, baking, grilling and more it became a regular fixture on my counter top.

Tiger Shrimp and Glass Noodle Salad Print Prep time Cook time Total time Tiger Shrimp and Glass Noodle Salad - In this recipe from Gordon Ramsay, made using a Philips Airfryer to cook tiger shrimp, a mixture of vegetables and fresh herbs adds bright color and fresh flavor to a main course salad. It’s worth seeking out piment d’Espelette for its complex flavor and subtle heat, but hot paprika can be substituted if you like. You can also substitute rice noodles for the glass noodles (also called cellophane noodles), which are available at most Asian markets. Author: Barry C.
