  • 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
  • 5 g Garlic, raw
  • 3 g Chili peppers, red, raw

Method

  1. Peel and shred the unripe green mango into fine matchsticks, either with a knife, mandoline, or shredding tool.
  2. 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.
  3. Whisk together the fish sauce, lime juice, sugar and minced garlic until the sugar dissolves.
  4. Toss the shredded mango with the dressing, chopped shrimp and sliced chili.
  5. Scatter with the roasted peanuts just before serving so they stay crunchy.
