How to choose fresh ingredients
How to choose fresh shrimp
- You should choose live shrimp with a transparent outer shell, having a characteristic sea smell, not fishy.
- The shrimp’s head is tightly attached to the body, the tail of the shrimp is folded together, and the body is straight or only slightly curved, indicating that the shrimp is still fresh.
- Do not choose shrimp that have black spots under the shell, a rounded body, and a flared tail, as these are shrimp that have been pumped with water, of poor quality, and when eaten, the shrimp meat will not be sweet and delicious.

How to choose delicious green mangoes
- You should buy mangoes that are really green and sour; the finished dish will be crispier and more appealing. Do not choose mangoes that show signs of ripening or are ripe.
- For green mangoes, choose those that are firm, with a white powdery skin and dark green color.
- Avoid selecting green mangoes that are soft, as these are often immature fruits that have been stored for a long time. These fruits will have a bland taste, lack aroma, and the flesh will be mushy.
- If you do not like sour flavors, you can choose four-season mangoes or sticky mangoes.

How to prepare Green Mango Shrimp Salad

Prepare the shrimp
Wash the shrimp with diluted salt water and then let them drain.
Next, cut off the heads, peel off the shells, and remove the black vein from the shrimp.
Place the shrimp in a bowl with 1 tablespoon of baking soda and 150ml of soda, then gently massage them with your hands for 2 minutes to clean.
Finally, soak the shrimp in ice water for 10 minutes.
Tip:
- To quickly remove the shrimp vein, bend the shrimp’s head at a 45-degree angle, gently squeeze the head part, and then slowly and carefully pull it to remove the vein from the shrimp’s back.
- Soaking shrimp in ice water will help them become firmer, crispier, and fresher for a longer time.

Prepare the green mango
Use a knife to peel the green mango and then dice it.
After that, soak the mango in ice water for about 10 minutes to keep it crunchy; you can add a little salt to the water to prevent the mango from browning.

Make the dressing
Put 8 chili peppers and 50g of palm sugar into a mortar and pound them finely.
Next, add about 20g of prepared mango and 2 chopped limes, then continue to pound until smooth.
After that, pour the dressing onto a plate, add 70ml of fermented fish sauce, squeeze the juice of 2 limes, and mix well.
-
Mixing the salad
Add the remaining mango to the dressing along with shrimp, 2 thinly sliced red onions, 5 halved chili peppers, and 2 teaspoons of chili powder, then mix well to finish.
