INSTRUCTIONS
With a sharp knife, cut peel from mangoes. Coarsley shred mangoes by
sliding them across a hand shredder. In a bowl, mix shallots, lime
juice, fish sauce, sugar, garlic and chili. Add shredded mangoes, mix
and set aside. Shell and devein shrimp; rinse well. Divide shrimp
into 4 equal portions. Thread 1 portion onto 2 parallel skewers (to
keep shrimp from rotating around skewer). Repeat with remaining
shrimp. Place shrimp on a barbecue grill (med-hot) (if using gas grill
close lid). Cook shrimp, turning once, until opaque but still
moist-looking in center of thickest part, about 6 minutes. With a
slotted spoon, mound mango salad on a platter or 4 plates. Lay shrimp
on salad, surround with watercress, and scatter with mint. Then evenly
pour remaining dressing over the shrimp. Per serving: 244 cal, 3.4g
