Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 Green mango
- 300 grams Shrimps (peeled and deveined)
- 3 tablespoons Lime juice
- 2 tablespoons Fish sauce
- 1 tablespoon Brown sugar
- 2 Garlic cloves (minced)
- 1 Thai bird's eye chili (finely chopped)
- 1 Carrot (julienned)
- 1 Cucumber (julienned)
- 1 Red bell pepper (julienned)
- 3 tablespoons Roasted peanuts (chopped)
- 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro leaves
- 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
Instructions
1. Prepare the marinade for the shrimps. In a bowl, mix 2 tablespoons of lime juice, 1 tablespoon of fish sauce, 1/2 tablespoon of brown sugar, 1 minced garlic clove, and the chopped Thai chili. Add the shrimps and toss to coat evenly. Let the shrimps marinate in the fridge for 15 minutes.
2. While the shrimps are marinating, peel and shred the green mango into thin strips using a julienne peeler or knife. Place the mango strips into a large salad bowl.
3. Add the julienned carrot, cucumber, and red bell pepper to the salad bowl with the mango.
4. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the marinated shrimps (discarding excess marinade) and cook for about 2 minutes on each side or until they turn pink and opaque. Remove from heat and set aside to cool slightly.
5. Prepare the salad dressing by whisking together 1 tablespoon of lime juice, 1 tablespoon of fish sauce, 1/2 tablespoon of brown sugar, 1 minced garlic clove, and 1 teaspoon of sesame oil. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed, balancing the saltiness, tanginess, and sweetness.
6. Pour the dressing over the mango and vegetables in the salad bowl. Toss well to combine.
7. Add the cooked shrimps to the salad and gently toss to incorporate.
8. Sprinkle the salad with chopped roasted peanuts and fresh cilantro leaves for garnish.
9. Serve immediately and enjoy your refreshing Thai Mango Salad with Marinated Shrimps!
