Grilled Shrimp and Noodle Salad

Just found this in my new Food Network Magazine and it looks so good. We love shrimp, rice noodles and salads and putting them all together has got to be a winning combo. Just a reminder to be careful, Sriracha (which can be found in Asian markets) can be hot so unless you like that, it might be wise to start with less, maybe even 1/2 tsp and taste test before adding more. After making this as a light dinner on a hot garden working day I think I'd add some grated ginger to it for a little bite next time.
