Directions
Thai Mango Salad With Marinated Shrimps,I sort ‘threw together’ this salad for my Asian X’mas dinner. Very refreshing and can be made up to 3-4 hours ahead. This salad is made in a few stages – all very easy and quick. The wonton cups can be made a day ahead, stored in an airtight container. Assemble just before serving, so that the wonton cups don’t get soggy. If you want to assemble ahead, serve in small lettuce cups. You can also use scallops instead of shrimps.,Awesome! Cheated and made it as a salad for a crowd of 50, rave reviews. Will make again in the wonton cups for a smaller crowd. ( I actually just used a jalapeno, but will keep my eyes open fo the chillis as I wanted more heat.),I made this for a surprise 60th birthday party for my Mother in law. There were 50 guests and this was one of the dishes. It was a hit! I have had so many requests for the recipe and it was very easy to prepare. I made the shells and marinated the prawns the day before and threw together the salad in the afternoon prior to the party. Before serving I calmly spooned the mixture in the shells (people looked on in awe and amazement at how intricate the dish looks)and served. The taste? simply divine. Thankyou Watermelon for making me look like a star!!!
