Shrimp and Papaya Salad

Recipe courtesy of Recipenet.org

Serves 4

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 pounds cooked bay shrimp
  • 1 papaya
  • 1 head butter or Boston lettuce
  • A few sprigs parsley
  • 2 tablespoons milk
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • Salt

Method

Step 1

Preparing the Shrimp

Step 2

Rinse the cooked shrimp under cold running water, pat dry with paper towels, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate.

Step 3

Preparing the Papaya

Step 4

Cut the papaya in half lengthwise,and 1) use the spoon to scoop out and discard the seeds. Peel off the skin with a paring knife and discard, then place the papaya cut side down on a cutting board. 2) Use a sharp knife to cut the fruit lengthwise into slices 1/2 inch wide, then slice those pieces crosswise into 1/2-inch chunks. Remember that a ripe papaya is fragile, and will turn to mush if harshly handled.

Step 5

Finishing the Salad

Step 6

Rinse the lettuce leaves and pat dry with paper towels.

Step 7

Rinse the parley and pat dry; remove the stems and discard. Finely chop the leaves.

Step 8

Arrange 2 or 3 lettuce leaves on each serving plate, making them into a bed for the salad.

Step 9

Stir the milk into the mayonnaise to thin it.

Step 10

Distribute the shrimp and papaya onto the 4 plates. Sprinkle on salt, drizzle the dressing over each serving, and scatter some chopped parsley on top. Serve.
