In a medium bowl, mix shrimp with 1/3 cup salad dressing. Refrigerate for an hour. Mix peanut butter, soy sauce, honey, ginger, crushed red pepper and remaining salad dressing; set aside. After shrimp has marinated, boil the pasta; drain. Meanwhile, in a saucepan over high heat, heat the salad oil and sesame oil. Cook the carrot for one minute. Drain the salad dressing from the shrimp. Add shrimp and green onions to carrot and cook for about 3 minutes, or until shrimp are done. In a large bowl, toss hot pasta with peanut-butter mixture, shrimp mixture and chopped cilantro.

Makes 4 servings.
