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).

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
