Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

Salt and pepper
12 large shrimp, peeled
4 cups peeled, shredded, seeded green papaya or Granny Smith apple or jicama or a combination
2 cups mung bean sprouts
1 cup roughly chopped cilantro leaves
1/2 cup roughly chopped mint leaves
1/2 cup trimmed and chopped scallions
1 teaspoon Vietnamese chili-garlic paste, or to taste
2 limes, juiced
1/4 cup Thai fish sauce (nam pla)
1 tablespoon brown or palm sugar
1/2 cup chopped dry-roasted peanuts

Steps:

  • Salt the shrimp, then grill or broil them, or put them in a saucepan with salted water to cover. Bring water almost to a boil, then turn off heat. Let shrimp sit in water until cool. When cool, slice in half lengthwise.
  • In a large bowl, toss together papaya, sprouts, herbs and scallions. Whisk together chili-garlic paste, lime juice, fish sauce and sugar, along with a little salt and a lot of pepper. Taste and adjust seasoning. Toss dressing with papaya-herb mixture, then top with shrimp and peanuts. Toss again at table, and serve.

This salad is a bit spicy for my taste, but it's still really good. I'll just use less chili next time.

This salad is a great way to use up leftover shrimp. I always have a few shrimp left over after making a seafood dinner, and this is the perfect way to use them up.

The dressing for this salad is perfection. It's tangy, sweet, and a little bit spicy. I could drink it!
