This seems to be missing the Notes.

NOTES: This salad is traditionally made with finely sliced raw banana
blossoms or cabbage; we've gotten excellent results with the cabbage.
Spicy rau ram, found in Vietnamese markets, adds an aromatic pungency,
but fresh mint is a very good alternative. For convenience, use frozen
cooked shrimp, thawed, and packaged shredded cabbage (often labeled
"angel hair"). Serve the salad for a light lunch or as part of a
multi-course meal.
