How to make Green Papaya Salad
Boil shrimp, drain and halve lengthwise.
For the dressing, dissolve sugar in the boiling water. When sugar is dissolved completely, pour this simple syrup into a small bowl to cool. Once cool, add the lime juice, garlic, chili peppers and fish sauce and stir together.
Combine ingredients in a bowl and toss well with dressing. Cover and chill for at least 30 minutes and sprinkle with chopped pistachios right before serving.
