How to make Shrimp and Pork Salad with Guava

• 1

  Prepare Shrimp and Pork

  Buy pork and soak it in a bowl of diluted salt water for a few minutes, then take it out, rinse it with clean water, and let it drain in a colander.

  For fresh shrimp, cut off the head, tail, legs, and antennae. Remove the intestine and the shell, then rinse them clean with water.

  Quick way to remove shrimp intestines:

  • Quickly remove the shrimp intestine by using a toothpick to pierce horizontally into the shrimp body at the second joint from the tail. Then gently pull out the exposed shrimp intestine with your hands.
  • Alternatively, you can use a knife to slice along the back of the shrimp and take out the intestine.

  Prepare Other Ingredients

  Peel 1 onion, wash it clean with water, and cut it into small slices. Soak 3/4 of it in a mixture of vinegar and sugar, keeping the remaining part for boiling the pork.

  Similarly, peel 1 carrot and cut it into thin strips. Then soak it in the vinegar and sugar mixture.

  Wash 2 guavas clean and cut them into small pieces lengthwise.

  After washing the Vietnamese coriander, chop it finely. Peel the ginger and slice it.

  Peel the garlic, crush it, and chop it finely. Wash the chili, cut off the stem, remove the seeds, and then chop it finely.
