Boil the shrimp for 4 minutes, then drain off excess water so the sauce balance is not diluted.
Gently press the green papaya and shrimp base in a mortar so the fibers take in the sauce without breaking.
Dissolve the sugar in the lime juice and fish sauce for the green papaya shrimp dressing, balancing the sharpness.
Toss the main ingredients with the sauce for 1 minute without crushing, so the pieces do not fall apart.
Transfer to a serving plate and bring it to the table while the sauce is still glossy.
💡 Tip: Cutting the papaya into fine julienne helps it carry the lime sauce more evenly.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Sprinkle peanuts and mint on top and serve cold with a lime wedge.
