When I think of an Aussie summer, I think of mangoes and prawns (shrimps) and this recipe is an extension of the Australian lifestyle. A Shrimp Mango Salad recipe is the perfect light meal, especially on a hot summer’s day.

I still get confused about the difference between shrimp and prawns. Technically they are different species, however when we eat ‘shrimp’ or ‘prawns’ the words are interchangeable. In the USA, they call them shrimp, and here in Australia they are called prawns. And the bigger the better!

Asian Tiger Prawns are big, very popular and are easily found. You don’t have to buy raw shrimp then ‘throw a shrimp on the barbie’. If you are in a hurry, you can buy them already cooked and frozen, ready to defrost.

The Prawn Mango Salad dressing made with Thai Sweet Chili Sauce is one of my favorites, and I also use it as a dipping sauce for shrimp instead of seafood cocktail sauce.

This Shrimp Mango Salad recipe with avocados is delicious, fresh and healthy, can be thrown together very quickly, is fresh, delicious sure to be a summer favorite. Bon Appetit! Приятного аппетита!
