GREEN PAPAYA SALAD
In Isan (and the rest of Thailand), green papaya salad is called som tum, with "som" meaning "sour" and "tum" referring to the pounding sound of the large pestle used to crush ingredients. It is eaten by itself as a snack, or with marinated grilled beef and chicken.

SHRIMP AND PAPAYA SALAD
This summer salad can make a light but satisfying lunch or supper. You buy the shrimp already cooked. Serve the salad with a small bowl of broth and some buttered warm crackers. For something sweet to finish this light meal, I love to get a good thick bar of chocolate, break it into chunks and serve it with iced coffee topped with whipped cream.

Steps:
- Preparing the Shrimp
- Rinse the cooked shrimp under cold running water, pat dry with paper towels, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate.
- Preparing the Papaya
- Cut the papaya in half lengthwise, and 1) use the spoon to scoop out and discard the seeds. Peel off the skin with a paring knife and discard, then place the papaya cut side down on a cutting board. 2) Use a sharp knife to cut the fruit lengthwise into slices 1/2 inch wide, then slice those pieces crosswise into 1/2-inch chunks. Remember that a ripe papaya is fragile, and will turn to mush if harshly handled.
- Finishing the Salad
- Rinse the lettuce leaves and pat dry with paper towels.
- Rinse the parley and pat dry; remove the stems and discard. Finely chop the leaves.
- Arrange 2 or 3 lettuce leaves on each serving plate, making them into a bed for the salad.
- Stir the milk into the mayonnaise to thin it.
- Distribute the shrimp and papaya onto the 4 plates. Sprinkle on salt, drizzle the dressing over each serving, and scatter some chopped parsley on top. Serve.

GREEN PAPAYA SALAD
This is my version of a traditional Thai raw salad with a mildly spicy seasoning. I acquired the original recipe from the Blue Elephant Cooking School. The dried shrimp does tend to give this dish a strong flavour. Like my fellow garlic lovers here at Zaar, the first time I made this I used more than one clove of garlic, 3 to be exact, but in this dish to much garlic becomes overpowering and one misses out on the wonderful combination of flavours.

GREEN PAPAYA SALAD WITH SHRIMP
Steps:
- Salt the shrimp, then grill or broil it until just cooked, or put it in a saucepan with salted water to cover, bring the water to a boil, then turn off the heat and let the shrimp sit in the water until cool. When cool, slice the shrimp in half lengthwise, as if you were butterflying it.
- Meanwhile, toss the papaya, sprouts, herbs, and scallion together in a large bowl. Whisk together the chili-garlic paste, lime juice, nam pla, and sugar, along with a little salt and a lot of pepper; taste and adjust the seasoning. Toss the dressing with the papaya-herb mixture, then top with the shrimp and peanuts. Toss again at the table and serve.
Tips:
- Choose the right papaya: For this salad, you want a green papaya that is firm and not too ripe. A ripe papaya will be too soft and mushy.
- Shred the papaya thinly: This will help the papaya absorb the dressing better and make it easier to eat.
- Use fresh shrimp: Fresh shrimp will give the salad the best flavor. If you can't find fresh shrimp, you can use frozen shrimp that has been thawed.
- Make the dressing ahead of time: The dressing for this salad can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to a week. This will save you time when you're ready to assemble the salad.
- Don't overdress the salad: A little bit of dressing goes a long way in this salad. If you add too much dressing, it will overwhelm the other flavors.
- Serve the salad immediately: This salad is best served immediately after it is made. The papaya will start to soften as it sits, so it's best to enjoy it fresh.
Conclusion:
Green papaya salad with shrimp is a delicious and refreshing salad that is perfect for a summer meal. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. Whether you like it spicy, sweet, or tangy, this salad is sure to please. So next time you're looking for a healthy and flavorful salad, give this green papaya salad with shrimp a try.
