Healthy Snack Recipes: Shrimp Tropical Salsa Salad

If you’re a big fan of seafood, and prawn especially this can be the right healthy snack recipe for you. With fusions of fruits, some pepper and grilled prawns, you’ll find this snack rather unique and authentic to begin with. It’s great as an appetizer or starters.

Shrimp Tropical Salsa Salad

This particular recipe makes about 4 servings and it takes roughly about 15 – 20 minutes of cooking and preparation. You can use all kinds of tropical fruits if you want to but here I only restrict it to three types of fruits – apple, mango and semi young papaya. Make sure the papaya is not too green or too ripe. It should be just nice and mildly sweet. Other option, you can substitute any of the fruits with jackfruits if you can find any. For extra spice and hotness, add more pepper.

Ingredients:-

• 1 lb fresh large shrimp, shelled
• ½ cup semi young papaya, cut into small cubes
• ½ mango, cut into small cubes
• ½ apple, cut into small cubes
• ½ cup chopped red pepper
• ¾ tbsp low fat margarine
• ¼ tsp salt
• ¼ tsp cumin
• ¼ tsp ground white pepper
• A pinch of cayenne pepper
• 1 tbsp orange juice
• 1 tbsp chopped parsley

How to make / prepare Shrimp Tropical Salsa Salad

1. First of all, after you’ve gotten all the ingredients ready, stir in the melted butter, salt, cumin, white pepper, and cayenne pepper and blend it all well.
2. Add in the shrimps into the bowl of mixture and blend it well again, making sure all the shrimps are well-coated with the mixture. Set it aside for a while
3. For salsa, in a bowl toss together papaya, sweet pepper, jicama, pineapple sauce, cilantro, and chilli pepper before setting it aside or leave it in the refridgerator to chill.
4. Now it’s time to work on the shrimp. Preheat a broiler and thread the shrimp on a skewer, making it easier to turn the shrimp in order to cook.
5. Place the skewer on the greased unheated rack of a broiler pan and broil for about 10 to 12 minutes or until the shrimps are cooked.
6. When the shrimps are all cook, you can serve it with the chilled salsa, and voila!
