Here is a perfect summer salad recipe: very fresh and tasty. Mangoes and shrimps combination is close to perfection ;-) . I didn’t discover it long ago but I know I’ll be trying lots of dishes with these two…

 

Preparation time: 10 mn

 

Ingredients (for 4 servings)

14 oz (400 g) of cooked shrimps
7 oz (200 g) of Portobello mushrooms
1 mango
1 lettuce
1 red onion
1 lime
3 tablespoons of olive oil
Salt & pepper

 

Instructions

 

1/ Peel and chop onions. Squeeze 1/2 lime in a glass and pour onions slices into juice. Leave it so it marinates.

2/ Peel shrimps.

3/ Peel and chop mushrooms. (Peel mushrooms by taking off the white ’skin’ they have on top and cutting their bottom end. If you wash them they’ll get soaked in water)

4/ Peel and dice mango.

5/ Wash and dry lettuce thouroughly. Cut big leaves and pour into a big salad bowl.

6/ Add shrimps, mushrooms, mango dices, marinated onion with its lime juice, salt and pepper.

7/ Add juice from the remaining half of the lime along with olive oil.

8/ Mix well, try it and adjust seasoning according to your own taste.

    Looks delicious. I love tropical fruit and seafood together. I must admit I’ve never thought to add mushrooms into the mix as wel, but now you’re making me think I should consider this.

    Nice blog BTW, I stumbled upon it via the blog roll at duo dishes and I shall definitely be back.

    I hate any salad with lettuce. Lettuce is so horrible. YUCK!
