Shrimp and Papaya Salad
Leftover seafood can be a toughie. What to do with those grilled shrimp?
Try something you might not have thought of: Combine them with fruit. It’s not an obvious marriage, but it’s one that works well.
Papaya and shrimp go together nicely when tossed with this spicy yet slightly sweet dressing. And the mint works to highlight the contrasting flavors.
Add an ice-cold Thai beer and you’re all set.
Combine garlic, lime juice, fish sauce, sugar, serrano pepper and mint in medium bowl. Stir well until sugar dissolves, about 2 to 3 minutes. Add shrimp and papaya and toss to coat.
Divide lettuce between two plates and top with shrimp and papaya.
