Shrimp Salad with Fresh Papaya
Image via WikipediaIngredients:
1 chocho
8 oz shrimp, shelled, deveined and cooked
½ cup diced celery
¼ small fresh papaya, peeled and diced, seeds removed
¼ cup mayonnaise
2 tsp Helen’s Tropical-Exotics Dry Jerk Seasoning
2 tbsp Passion Fruit Sauce
Passion Fruit Sauce:
2 passion fruit
1 cup sugar
1 cup water
Preparation:
Peel the chocho and then blanch in boiling water to cover until just slightly crunchy, 4 to 5 minutes. Slice in half, and then remove the stringy pith in the middle. Dice to be the same size as your shrimp.
Combine the chocho, shrimp, celery and papaya. Add the mayonnaise, Helen’s Tropical-Exotics Dry Jerk Seasoning and Passion Fruit Sauce. Mix thoroughly. Chill well before serving.
Passion Fruit Sauce: Halve the passion fruits and scoop out the pulp and seeds. Discard the skin. Combine the fruit, sugar and water in a saucepan and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to a simmer. Cook until the pulp is soft, about 15 minutes. Press through a sieve and discard pulp. When the fruit sauce is cool, store in the refrigerator in a tightly covered container.
