For an extra layer of flavor, try grilling the shrimp before adding them to the salad. If you don't have a food processor, you can finely mince the mint, garlic, and lemongrass and whisk them together with the other dressing ingredients. Adjust the amount of sugar and vinegar in the dressing to suit your taste preferences.
