6 small Persian cucumbers, thinly sliced (about 2 1/2 cups)
12 sweet mini peppers, stemmed, seeded, and cut into bite-size pieces (about 1 3/4 cups)
8 small round tomatoes (such as Campari), cut into wedges (about 3 cups)

Bring 3 quarts water to a boil in a large saucepan over high.

Let cool 15 minutes.
While Kamut cooks, whisk together vinegar, oil, garlic, and hot sauce in a large bowl.
Add shrimp, cucumbers, and mini peppers; toss well.
