👩🍳 Instructions
- 1 Boil the shrimp in lightly salted boiling water for 2-3 minutes until they turn pink and are fully cooked. Remove, drain, then peel, leaving the tails on for a nice presentation.
- 2 Place the shredded green mango, shredded carrot, and sliced cucumber in a large bowl of ice water for 5 minutes to keep them crisp, then drain well.
- 3 Make the sauce by combining the lime juice, shaved palm sugar, halal fish sauce, salt, and cooled boiled water in a small bowl. Stir until the palm sugar is completely dissolved. Taste and adjust the sweet-sour-salty balance as needed.
- 4 In a large serving bowl, combine the green mango, carrot, cucumber, sliced shallots, and bird's eye chilies. Toss gently to mix well.
- 5 Arrange the boiled shrimp on top of the vegetable mixture, then pour the lime sauce evenly over the entire salad.
- 6 Add fresh Thai basil leaves, then sprinkle the chopped peanuts and fried shallots on top as a finishing touch.
- 7 Serve immediately while fresh so the vegetables stay crisp and don't wilt from the sauce.
💡 Tips
• Choose green mangoes that are still firm and tart for the crunchiest texture; avoid mangoes that have started to ripen.
• Don't mix in the sauce too far ahead of serving, as it will cause the vegetables to wilt and become watery—it's best to toss it in right before eating.
• For more flavorful shrimp, boil them with a few kaffir lime leaves or a bit of smashed ginger added to the water.
• You can substitute boiled shredded chicken or fried tofu for those who don't like seafood—it's still delicious and refreshing.
