Shrimp/Mango Salad recipe for Stylz
...and anyone else who'd like
Stylz...here's the recipe you asked for. It seems like a lot of work/ingredients but it's really just a mix it up. I use frozen, thawed shrimp and don't even heat them. I've also made it leaving out the sesame oil and fish sauce (I was out) and it tasted great anyway.
Hope you enjoy!
