Papaya Salad with Shrimps (SomTam Kung Sod)

Because of I love shrimps, "Papaya Salad with Shrimps" or "SomTam Kung Sod" is one of the most dish I love... Papaya Salad is the most pupular recipe in Thailand or well known as "Som Tam"...

Ingredients
- 1 fresh green papaya
- 200 g shrimps, shelled and deveined
- 5 garlic cloves, coarsely chopped
- 5-6 Thai chilies
- 2 tomatoes, cut into wedges
- 1/2 cup green beans, cut into one inch lengths
- 2 teaspoons of fish sauce
- 1/4 cup lime juice or tamarind juice

Cooking Instructions
- Peel the skin off of the papaya, then rinse with running water to remove the acid. The seeds are not used, remove it. Shred the papaya with a grater.
- In a boiling pan over high heat with chicken stock, add the shrimps and cook for 1-2 minutes, tossing often to break up the shrimps and cook.
- Then, transfer the shrimps to a medium bowl, leaving most of the liquid behide.
- Place garlic cloves, Thai chilies, green beans, and shrimps in mortar and mash thoroughly with a pestle. (You can use a mixing bowl if you don't have mortar - but I think it's not OK when mixing.) Add the remaining ingredients and seasonings in the mortar and gently combine with the pestle and a spoon.
- Left them into a serving plate and garnish (as pleasure - I recommend slices of cucumber!!!).
