Green mango salad with prawns

2 tbsp lime juice
1 small red chilli
seeded and finely chopped
2 tbsp fish sauce
1 tbsp light muscovado sugar
3 shallots
finely sliced
85g roasted salted peanuts
finely chopped
2 green mangoes
or 3 Granny Smith apples
2 tbsp chopped mint
1 tbsp sunflower oil
200g pack raw shell-on headless prawn
peeled but with tail on (or, if you use ready peeled prawns, you need 175g/6oz)
2 little gem lettuces
2 spring onions
shredded

Method

step 1
Mix together the lime juice, chilli, fish sauce and sugar in a large bowl. Add the shallots and three quarters of the peanuts and mix well. Cover and set aside for up to 4 hours.
step 2
Peel and coarsely grate the mango or apple, and stir into the mixture along with the mint. Heat the oil in a frying pan or wok, add the prawns and stir fry quickly until evenly pink – about 2 minutes.
step 3
Scatter the lettuce leaves on a serving plate and spoon the salad mixture in the centre. Surround with the prawns and scatter over the remaining peanuts and spring onions.
