    Clean the salad, separate the leaves individually, wash and shake dry. Peel the mango, cut the flesh from the stone and cut into longish pieces (approx. 1 cm wide and approx. 5 cm long). Wash and peel the carrot.

  4. 4

    Cut the carrot into strips (about 2 mm thin and about 5 cm long). Wash the coriander and basil, shake dry and pluck leaves from the stalks. Rinse shrimps cold, dab dry and bend straight.
