Thai Cucumber Salad

1 tb Vegetable oil
1 tb Peanut Oil
2 tb Raw peanuts
Drizzle Sesame Seed oil * optional
1 lg Asian or English type Cucumber, peeled
2-6+ Fresh red chile, Thai Dragons or Birds, to taste
1 Shallot, finely chopped
2 ts Finely chopped lime peel**
1 1/2 tb Lime juice
2 ts Fish sauce (Golden Boy or Dragonfly Brand is good)
1 ts Date Palm Sugar or Lt. Brown sugar
8 ounces Fresh salad shrimp
or
2 ounces Large size dried shrimp, pounded

Brown peanuts at high heat in a wok with the oil or brown in dry skillet.
Chop the peanuts up. Set aside.

Peel cucumber grate 1/2 of the cucumber and slice the other half in
very thin slices (or grate the whole thing, or slice the whole thing,
depending on which you like best).

Mix everything together and serve.

Variations: Grated cabbage or daimon in place of cucumber

** I use minced young bai magroot/kaffir lime leaves, but most don't have access so the grated lime peel is a good substitute
