Name: Pomelo Salad: Yam Som-O (ยำส้มโอ) Recipe
Yield: 4 people
Ingredients: 1.5 lb pomelo, peeled and separated into segments; 1 lb 21-26 count shrimp, peeled and deveined; ¾ cup desiccated coconut flakes, unsweetened; ½ cup coconut milk; Dried red chile flakes, to taste (I use whole Mexican chile pequin as they are very easy to crumble up with your fingertips and taste just like dried bird’s eye chiles. They’re also very, very cute.); 4 tablespoons finely-minced shallots or onion; 2 tablespoons finely-minced garlic; 2 tablespoons vegetable oil; ½ cup plain roasted peanuts, roughly chopped; fresh lime juice to taste; fish sauce, to taste; 1 handful fresh cilantro leaves fish sauce
