Ingredients

  • 3 tablespoon dried shrimp
  • ½ green mango
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice
  • ½ tablespoon sugar (palm sugar more typical, but white or brown also fine)
  • ½ tablespoon fish sauce
  • 1 tablespoon mint (or basil/Thai basil or a mix of them)
  • 2 tablespoon unsalted roasted cashews (or peanuts)

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Put the shrimp in a small bowl and cover with hot water. Leave to soak for around 10 minutes. 
  2. Meanwhile cut the half mango from the stone (save rest for another time or make a double batch). Peel and discard the skin then coarsely grate the flesh. Put in a medium bowl.
  3. Mix together the lime juice, sugar and fish sauce and pour over the grated mango. Drain the shrimp, rinse if they seem grainy and add to the bowl. 
  4. Thinly slice the mint/basil and add it, along with the cashews and mix everything together. 

Notes

  • (see video above)
  • Serves 2 as a small appetizer/side, or 1 as more of a light lunch. Obviously if you add squid/fish it will bulk it out more.
