Grill the shrimp:
- Preheat a grill pan over medium-high heat. Grill the shrimp 2 to 3 minutes on each side until shrimp is slightly charred and is curled and pink. Do not overcook! Remove shrimp from pan and set aside.
Make the miso dressing:
- Add all ingredients into a medium mixing bowl and whisk to thoroughly combine. (Or mix in a blender until smooth and creamy.)
Assemble the salad:
- Layer each salad bowl with lettuce leaves or mixed greens, radishes, shredded carrots, radish sprouts, sliced cucumbers, sliced tomatoes, edamame pods, and the grilled miso shrimp.
- Top with the miso dressing and garnish with black sesame seeds.
Notes
- If you don't have a grill pan handy, you can always grill the shrimp on an outside grill.
