Number Of Ingredients 12

Salt and pepper
12 large shrimp, peeled
4 cups peeled, shredded, seeded green papaya or Granny Smith apple or jicama or a combination
2 cups mung bean sprouts
1 cup roughly chopped cilantro leaves
1/2 cup roughly chopped mint leaves
1/2 cup trimmed and chopped scallions

2 limes, juiced
1/4 cup Thai fish sauce (nam pla)
