My sister made this for us recently and I had to have the recipe. She didn't have the lime leaves, so just left them out. Also, her recipe asked for the bottom parts of stems and roots from a bunch of coriander, but I'm just suggesting leaves as I think it's only common in Australia to get the WHOLE bunch. I like this salad as it's great made ahead, though prep time doesn't reflect the refrigeration time.
Ingredients:
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1 tablespoon tamarind juice
2 tablespoons fish sauce
3 teaspoons palm sugar
1 1/2 kg cooked shrimp, shelled
10 shallots, finely chopped
4 stalks lemongrass, tender centre only,finely chopped
1 large red chile, seeded and sliced
2 tablespoons kaffir lime leaves, finely chopped
1/4 cup chopped coriander leaves
Directions:
1. Bring the lemon juice, tamarind juice, fish sauce and sugar to the boil in a saucepan, stirring occasionally.
2. Remove from the heat and set aside.
3. Mix together the remaining ingredients.
4. Pour over the cooled dressing and toss together.
5. refrigerate 1-2 hours before serving.
