Mango and Spicy Shrimp Salad

This one is for Michele.

This elegant starter or main-course salad first appeared in 2008’s A Year of the Best (Chef Vincent Parkinson was co-author on this one-off collection) and then it was reprinted in The Rest of the Best and More recipe collection. A perfect summer salad.
