Melon Noodles

In an attempt to find function in the form of melon confit, I thinly sliced the melon into wide noodles.  The bright clean flavor of the melon triggered thoughts of salads, while the noodles themselves directed me towards pad thai.  Well, we married both ideas with a melon noodle salad with scallion, lime, Key West Pink shrimp, smoked cashews and a few drops of our smoke and fire hot sauce.  The dish eats like pad thai with individual noodles and bites with a variety of flavors and is refreshing like a salad.
