- Preparation: 15 min
- Cooking: 5 min
- Makes: 1 serving (216 g)
- Difficulty: Easy
- Diets: Pescatarian, Gluten-free, Dairy-free
- Contains: fish, peanut, shellfish
Ingredients
- 150 g Mango, raw
- 15 g Shrimp, raw
- 15 g Peanuts, roasted
- 10 g Fish sauce
- 10 g Lime juice
- 8 g Sugar

Method
- Peel and shred the unripe green mango into fine matchsticks, either with a knife, mandoline, or shredding tool.
- Cook the shrimp briefly in a little boiling water for 2-3 minutes until pink and cooked through, then drain, cool and chop finely; this stands in for the small dried shrimp traditionally used.

- Toss the shredded mango with the dressing, chopped shrimp and sliced chili.
- Scatter with the roasted peanuts just before serving so they stay crunchy.
