Recipe Instructions:
-
Begin by boiling the unshelled prawns and squid in water until the prawns turn red and are cooked through, and the squid becomes firm and springy.
-
Once cooked, remove the prawns and squid from the water. Shell the prawns and set them aside along with the squid in the fridge to chill.
-
If you’re using crustaceans, boil them in water with a pinch of salt. Remove the flesh and cut it into bite-sized pieces, then set aside in the fridge to cool.
-
Cut the lime in half, reserving one half. Slice the other half thinly and chop it into small segments, keeping the zest attached.
-
If you’re using canned coconut milk, ensure it’s well stirred or shaken before use. Add fish sauce to the coconut milk and stir well. Adjust the amount of fish sauce according to your preference for saltiness.
-
Squeeze some juice from the reserved lime half into the coconut milk mixture and stir thoroughly.
-
In a large bowl, combine all the prepared ingredients, including the chilled prawns, squid, mango, red onion, string beans, sliced lime, chopped red chile, green onions, and parsley.
-
Pour the coconut milk dressing over the salad mixture and toss until everything is evenly coated.
-
Allow the salad to marinate in the refrigerator for about 15 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld together.
-
Once chilled, serve your refreshing Thai Seafood Salad and enjoy the explosion of flavors with every bite!
