Provided by Corinne Trang

Categories     appetizer

Time 1h25m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

24 jumbo tiger shrimp (about 10 per pound), deveined
1/4 cup fresh lime (substitution: lemon juice)
1/4 cup palm sugar or granulated sugar
1/4 cup fish sauce
1 large garlic clove, finely grated
1 to 2 fresh red Thai chiles, stemmed, seeded, and minced
1/4 cup packed fresh Thai basil, minced (substitution: mint or cilantro leaves)
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
Sour Mango Salad, recipe follows
4 large green mangos, peeled, halved lengthwise, sliced using an Asian shredder or julienned with a knife
2 large carrots, peeled and julienned
2 red Thai chiles, stemmed, seeded, and sliced into thin rounds
1/4 cup fresh lime juice (substitution: lemon juice)
1/3 cup fish sauce
1/3 cup sugar

Steps:

  • Using a paring knife, cut through the back shell of each shrimp. Remove the dark vein by running your forefinger between the shell and the flesh of each shrimp, keeping the shell intact. Reserve shrimp in a re-sealable gallon plastic bag.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the lime juice and sugar until the sugar is completely dissolved, then add the fish sauce. Add the garlic, chile, Thai basil, and 1 tablespoon oil. Stir well and pour over the reserved shrimp in the plastic bag. Seal the bag, squeezing out the air. Massage the bag to make sure that all of the shrimp are covered and refrigerate for 30 minutes to 1 hour.
  • Heat a grill pan over high heat. Oil the grill pan with remaining oil. Grill the shrimp, turning once to prevent burning, until evenly pink and golden on both sides, 2 to 3 minutes. Serve shrimp on large plate over Sour Mango Salad.
  • Mix the mangos, carrots, and chiles in a large bowl.
  • For the dressing: in a medium bowl, whisk together the lime, fish sauce, and sugar until the sugar is completely dissolved. Add the dressing to the bowl and toss together. Let stand 20 minutes. Drain and serve at room temperature or lightly chilled.

THAI CHICKEN, MANGO & PINEAPPLE SALAD



Thai Chicken, Mango & Pineapple Salad image

I got this from the Disney Family Fun website - and it is DELICIOUS!! They say: "Grilled chicken and tropical fruits seasoned with a citrusy curry sauce give this colorful salad plenty of kid appeal. It makes a great lunch or a light dinner as is, or you can create a heartier meal by serving the meat and fruit with steamed rice and side salads."

Provided by Sooz Cooks

Categories     Chicken

Time 45m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 (14 ounce) can coconut milk (regular or light)
1 tablespoon Thai red curry paste (I used 2 teaspoons Thai Sriracha sauce and 1 teaspoon red curry)
2 teaspoons orange zest (freshly grated)
1/2 cup fresh orange juice
4 chicken breasts (skinless and boneless, cut into 1-inch chunks)
1 mango, peeled, pitted, and cut into 1-inch chunks
1 pineapple, peeled, cored, and cut into 1-inch chunks
4 cups salad greens (I used a combination of a 6oz bag of iceberg lettuce salad and 1/2 of a 6 oz bag of baby spinach lea)

Steps:

  • In a bowl, whisk together the coconut milk, red curry paste, orange zest, and orange juice and reserve 1/2 cup of the mixture in a separate container (I SAVED 1 CUP AS THIS MADE A LOT OF MARINADE AND I USED MORE GREENS).
  • In a ziplock bag, toss together the chicken breast chunks and half of the marinade from the bowl. Toss the fruit and the remaining marinade in another ziplock bag. Let the food marinate at room temperature for 15 to 30 minutes.
  • Prepare a charcoal fire or heat a gas grill to medium-high, and oil the grates. Thread the chicken and fruit pieces onto separate skewers.
  • Grill the skewered chicken for 3 to 4 minutes per side, turning once, or until the chicken is cooked through. Grill the fruit skewers for 2 minutes per side, turning once, or until you have visible grill marks. Remove the meat and fruit from the skewers and serve them over salad greens drizzled with the reserved marinade.

Tips:

  • Choose ripe mangoes: Use ripe mangoes that are slightly firm to the touch. Avoid mangoes that are too soft or have bruises.
  • Use fresh herbs: Fresh herbs like cilantro, mint, and basil add a lot of flavor to the salad. Use them generously.
  • Toast the rice: Toasting the rice adds a nutty flavor and makes it more fragrant. You can toast the rice in a pan over medium heat until it is golden brown.
  • Use a good quality fish sauce: Fish sauce is a key ingredient in Thai cuisine. Choose a good quality fish sauce that is not too salty or pungent.
  • Adjust the spiciness: The spiciness of the salad can be adjusted by adding more or less chili peppers. If you don't like spicy food, you can omit the chili peppers altogether.

Conclusion:

Thai mango salad is a delicious and refreshing salad that is perfect for a hot summer day. It is also a healthy salad that is packed with nutrients. The combination of sweet mangoes, tangy dressing, and fresh herbs makes this salad a winner. So next time you are looking for a healthy and delicious salad to try, give Thai mango salad a try. You won't be disappointed.
