How to choose good and crunchy papaya
- To make the papaya mixed with shrimp paste more delicious and attractive, you should choose duck-billed papaya, as this type is usually crunchy and very tasty, suitable for mixed salads.
- Additionally, when buying, you should select papayas with two skins, having an outer yellow color with tiny green specks. Because those are the ones that are very meaty.
- Avoid buying papayas on rainy days or a few days before, as they will taste very bland then.

Prepare the ingredients
For the papaya you bought, use a knife to make even cuts around the fruit to release all the sap, then you can use a peeler to remove the outer skin.
Wash it clean and use a multi-functional grater to shred the papaya into small strands and place them into a bowl.
