We thought the shrimp were just OK, but really enjoyed the salad. I made it with watercress and carrots instead of the green papaya. I also cut the fish sauce in half. The dressing and peanuts are the stars here.




A recipe to repeat

I'd say that using green papaya is a must, otherwise you'd lose the textural component. Maybe jicama, but not salad greens... I like the recipe - fish sauce and all - just like it is. If you haven't bought fish sauce, look for the "golden boy" brand that has a picture of a baby boy on the front - I find it has less of the stink and adds the desired flavor depth . This is a recipe that I'll repeat, especially the green papaya salad. Spicy, crunchy, great flavor.

I absolutely LOVED this recipe. The salsa suprised me... was a little bit spicy, not too bad. Very interesting textures with the papaya and the peanuts. A little bit crunchy. Very very yummy.

A most excellent dish! I've eaten this at many Thai restaurants over the years and this is one of the best I've ever eaten. I may have tweaked it a little bit here or there but not much!
