Mango and Shrimp Salad
I would never think to mix these ingredients into a salad, but I was pleasantly surprised by the combination of sweet mango, spicy peppers and....shrimp.
Juice of 2 limes
1 Tbsp sugar
3 small shallots, thinly sliced
2 fresh red chiles, thickly sliced
10 oz large prawns or shrimp, peeled and deveined
1/2 tsp salt (or to taste)
1 Tbsp canola oil
1 ripe medium mango, peeled, pitted and diced
1 cup fresh mint leaves, coarsely chopped
1 cup fresh cilantro leaves, coarsely chopped
2 Tbsp unsalted roasted peanuts, roughly chopped
1. Preheat the broiled. To prepare the sauce, combine the lime juice, sugar, shallots and chiles in a small bowl. ALlow the sauce to sit for 5 minutes for the flavors to infuse.
2. Mix the prawns, salt and oil in a medium bowl. Arrange the prawns on a baking sheet and place under the broiler. Cook until the prawns turn bright pinkish orange and shrink slightly, about 3 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool for 1 minute.
3. To serve the salad, combine the mango, mint, cilantro, sauce, and prawns in a serving bowl. Garnish with chopped peanuts.
