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)

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

Drain and spread in an even layer on a large baking sheet.
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.
Cover and refrigerate up to 30 minutes.
Add cooled Kamut, tomatoes, and onion to shrimp mixture.
Season with black pepper and remaining 1 teaspoon salt; toss well.
