Detailed measurements and instructions can be found in the printable recipe card at the bottom of the page.
- Prawns/shrimps- Boiled, grilled, or fried. I have used medium-sized tiger prawns to make this summer salad. Use any variety or any size of shrimps you like. If you like you can chop them as well.
- Mango- Fresh, firm, sweet, juicy mangoes cut into small cubes.
- Red onion- The sharpness of this goes very well
- Sauce- red chili sauce
- Garlic- minced or finely chopped
- Lime juice- Fresh lime juice is a must. You need the juice of approximately 1 lime.
- Herbs: Fresh coriander and mint leaves, chopped
- Spices- Long red chili and a bit of chili powder (I have used Kashmiri chili powder, non-spicy)
- Seasoning- Salt and pepper
Instructions
- Put the red chili sauce, minced garlic, chopped red chili, red chili powder, crushed black pepper, salt, chopped coriander and mint leaves in a small bowl. Mix well and set aside.
- Combine mango cubes, prawns, and onion together in a platter.
- Pour the dressing over the salad. Toss to combine and serve.

- It tastes best when freshly made. However, it can be made a few hours ahead. Just store mango cubes, cooked prawns, and dressing separately. When ready to serve, add freshly sliced onions and toss everything together to combine.
