Notes
- To turn this dish into a main course, increase the amount of prawns and serve with some vermicelli noodles, tossed in a little extra dressing.
- Make sure your mango is ripe but firm, to prevent you ending up with a mushy salsa.
- To cook this for a dinner party, make dressing and chop and prepare all other ingredients beforehand. All you need to do to serve is cook the prawns and assemble the dish on the night.
