- 12 firm-ripe mangoes, peeled and julienned
- 21 lb large shrimp, grilled or poached
- 33 shallots, sliced thin
- 41/2 cup fresh mint leaves
- 51/2 cup fresh cilantro
- 61/4 cup roasted peanuts
- 71 red chili, minced
- 83 tablespoons fish sauce
- 93 tablespoons lime juice
- 102 tablespoons palm sugar or brown sugar
- 111 clove garlic, minced
- 12Toasted coconut flakes for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- 1
Make the dressing: whisk fish sauce, lime juice, palm sugar, garlic, and minced chili until sugar dissolves. Taste — it should be aggressively balanced: sour, salty, sweet, spicy.
- 2
Grill or poach shrimp until just pink and curled. Cool to room temperature — slightly warm shrimp will wilt the fresh herbs.
- 3
Combine julienned mango, shallots, mint, and cilantro in a large bowl. Pour dressing over and toss gently. Add shrimp and toss once more.
- 4
Plate and top with roasted peanuts and toasted coconut flakes. The salad should be vivid, fresh, and intensely dressed — not lightly dressed. Eat within 30 minutes before the herbs wilt and mango releases too much juice.
