Ingredients

  • 3 tablespoon dried shrimp
  • ½ green mango
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice

  • 1 tablespoon mint (or basil/Thai basil or a mix of them)
  • 2 tablespoon unsalted roasted cashews (or peanuts)
US Customary - Metric

Instructions

  • Put the shrimp in a small bowl and cover with hot water. Leave to soak for around 10 minutes. 
  • 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.
  • 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. 
  • 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.
