How to Make Thai Mango Salad With Marinated Shrimps

  1. **Prepare the Wonton Cups:** Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 12-cup muffin tin. Press 12 wonton wrappers into each cup, ensuring they cover the bottom and sides. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until golden brown and crisp. Let cool completely. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 day.
  2. **Prepare the Shrimp Marinade:** In a small bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup lime juice, 2 tablespoons fish sauce, 1 tablespoon brown sugar, 1 teaspoon grated ginger, 1 clove minced garlic, and 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes.
  3. **Marinate the Shrimp (or Scallops):** Peel and devein 1 pound of shrimp (or use 1 pound of scallops). Place shrimp in a resealable bag and pour the marinade over them. Seal and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or up to 2 days for best flavor.
  4. **Prepare the Salad:** In a medium bowl, gently toss together 2 cups cubed ripe mango, 1/2 cup shredded red cabbage, 1/2 cup chopped cucumber, 1/4 cup chopped cilantro, and 1/4 cup chopped roasted peanuts.
  5. **Assemble the Salad:** Arrange the cooled wonton cups on a serving platter. Divide the salad evenly among the cups. Top each with 2-3 marinated shrimp (or scallops).
  6. **Finishing Touches:** Sprinkle with freshly ground black pepper to taste. Garnish with extra cilantro or parsley and additional chopped peanuts, if desired. Serve immediately.
