THAI MANGO SALAD WITH MARINATED SHRIMPS

Thai Mango Salad With Marinated Shrimps image

I sort 'threw together' this salad for my Asian X'mas dinner. Very refreshing and can be made up to 3-4 hours ahead. This salad is made in a few stages - all very easy and quick. The wonton cups can be made a day ahead, stored in an airtight container. Assemble just before serving, so that the wonton cups don't get soggy. If you want to assemble ahead, serve in small lettuce cups. You can also use scallops instead of shrimps.

First, make the wonton cups- press wonton wrappers into greased muffin cups, bake them for 10mins at 350°F; cool and store them in airtight container up to 1 day ahead.
Add lemongrass, ginger, lime zest and juice to approx 2 cups of water (enough water to cover the shrimps) and bring to boil in a small saucepan.
Poach the shrimps in the stock for 5-10mins, until shrimps just turned pink (do not overcook); remove and cool.
Peel the shrimps and set aside.
Make the dressing/marinade- combine all ingredients in a small bowl.
Place cooled shrimps in a ziplock bag, and pour in the dressing; marinate shrimps for 1-2 days in the fridge for best results.
A few hours before serving, combine all salad ingredients except the black pepper and garnish, in a medium non-reactive bowl.
Add the shrimps and dressing, toss to coat and chill.

Tips:

To select the ripest mangoes, look for ones that are slightly soft to the touch and have a deep yellow color.
If you can't find peeled and deveined shrimp, you can do it yourself by following these steps:
1. Rinse the shrimp under cold water.
2. Using a sharp knife, cut along the back of the shrimp, from the head to the tail.
3. Remove the vein by gently pulling it out.
4. Rinse the shrimp again to remove any remaining grit or debris.
To make the dressing, you can use a food processor or blender to combine all of the ingredients until smooth.
If you don't have a mortar and pestle, you can use a food processor or blender to grind the peanuts.
Be careful not to overcook the shrimp, as they will become tough and chewy.
To assemble the salad, simply combine all of the ingredients in a large bowl and toss to coat.
Serve the salad immediately, or chill it for later.

Thai mango prawn salad is a delicious and refreshing dish that is perfect for a summer meal. It is also a healthy choice, as it is packed with fresh fruits, vegetables, and lean protein. If you are looking for a new and exciting salad recipe, I highly recommend trying this one.
