I am a Vietnamese and I must say that this dish looks so good and I have no doubt that Zen Chef’s grilled shrimp with green mango salad is lip-smackingly good.
I love Vietnamese green papaya salad, but I think Thai also has this dish, or maybe they used mango. I am not sure. Either way, this is a light and funny post and I love it. Thanks Zen Chef.
What a lovely refreshing recipe. It’s one that I will definitely try. Thanks, Zen Can Cook and Rasa Malaysia!
Wow, love it. Rasanya enak sekali.
Cheers,

Okay.. i need to know what that means. Someone.. anyone? Bee? :-)
Zen, it means your food stinks and looks like baby puke.
Just kidding, it means they are so very delicious-est.
You are bringing some of my favorite bloggers onto here Bee! Love this recipe Zen. I am already tasting a forkful, followed by the most delicious white wine my imagination can summon.
These shrimps are perfect for me! I’ve foud some this morning at the market. I know how to cook them now (on my barbecue of course!). Thanks…
The pictures are very appetizing, and the descriptions are very mouth watering, makes my imaginations go wild and in turn my stomach growls eventhough I’ve already had my lunch.. :) Bravo Zen and Bee !!!
That’s a great shot! And a great solution to getting stuck with a too-ripe green papaya…happens to me once and awhile and I want to scream when I cut it open to realize it’s not going to have the crunchy crispy goodness I was hoping for. I’ll give this a whirl!
That’s exactly what i did… i screamed! :-)
What’s so great about cooking is that we can always improvise!
I can eat grilled shrimp 365 days, and couple with green papaya salad, I will eat both for life!
gosh! delicious..stomach was growling as i was reading..just have to figure out how to get green papaya here in dublin..hmmm
Ohhhh this looks so delicious! Thanks for the recipe Zen and thank you Bee for notifying us of Zen -another foodie blog to add to my favourites! :)
Nice!! I love the combination of flavors–sounds like a perfect summer dish :)
This grilled shrimp with green papaya salad looks like perfect match in food heaven for summer! Drool.
Thank you all for the nice comments! :-)
Bee.. i almost finished mopping the floor. Let me know when i can go home. :-)
Very summery and wonderful flavours!
Stephan’s work is always outstanding. This is another winner!
Delicious salad and I really love this dressing …perfect! Had so much fun reading Zen chef’s blog!
grilled shrimp, exotic salads, unpronounceable accolades – looks like job well done…now when can I have a taste?
you work on that blogkeeping! you go.
Seriously though, lovely post. You do write so well.
I agree with Eating365! I could eat grilled shrimp and papaya salad every day!! Where were you for Mother’s Day??! I would certainly have forced this recipe on my hubby for my Mother’s Day lunch AND maybe dinner. :)

I will be visiting Vietnam in April, and I am just excited to grab a taste of this thing at their restaurant! Chefs Gone Wild, right?
I have a question, I am cooking blind here. I have never eaten Green Papaya Salad before, so I have no idea how a green papaya should taste. By itself the papaya was tasteless. Is that how it is supposed to be? Same question for the green mango, which I did not include in my salad tonight, but may in the future.
The salad was really great, just want to know if I am missing some other flavor.
Thanks!
You are right about green papayas. It’s the fresh organic taste that the salad should provide. If you have the green mango, you’d a get fuller bolder zingy sour taste.
