THAI MANGO SALAD WITH MARINATED SHRIMPS

Thai Mango Salad With Marinated Shrimps image

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.

2 limes, juice of
2 teaspoons lime zest, grated
2 tablespoons honey
2 tablespoons fish sauce
2 tablespoons lemongrass, chopped finely
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 thai mango, unripe,julienned
1 small cucumber, julienned (I use Japanese cucumber)

1 small granny smith apple, julienned (use any tart apple)
1/4 cup cilantro, chopped

Steps:

First, make the wonton cups- press wonton wrappers into greased muffin cups, bake them for 10mins at 350°F; cool and store them in airtight container up to 1 day ahead.
Add lemongrass, ginger, lime zest and juice to approx 2 cups of water (enough water to cover the shrimps) and bring to boil in a small saucepan.
Poach the shrimps in the stock for 5-10mins, until shrimps just turned pink (do not overcook); remove and cool.
Peel the shrimps and set aside.
Make the dressing/marinade- combine all ingredients in a small bowl.
Place cooled shrimps in a ziplock bag, and pour in the dressing; marinate shrimps for 1-2 days in the fridge for best results.
A few hours before serving, combine all salad ingredients except the black pepper and garnish, in a medium non-reactive bowl.
Add the shrimps and dressing, toss to coat and chill.
Assembly- place wonton cups on serving platter/tray, arrange salad in the cups, topped them each with a shrimp, sprinkle with fresh ground pepper and chopped nuts and garnish with fresh parsley/cilantro before serving.
