SHRIMP AND PAPAYA SALAD
This summer salad can make a light but satisfying lunch or supper. You buy the shrimp already cooked. Serve the salad with a small bowl of broth and some buttered warm crackers. For something sweet to finish this light meal, I love to get a good thick bar of chocolate, break it into chunks and serve it with iced coffee topped with whipped cream.

Steps:
- Preparing the Shrimp
- Rinse the cooked shrimp under cold running water, pat dry with paper towels, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate.
- Preparing the Papaya
- Cut the papaya in half lengthwise, and 1) use the spoon to scoop out and discard the seeds. Peel off the skin with a paring knife and discard, then place the papaya cut side down on a cutting board. 2) Use a sharp knife to cut the fruit lengthwise into slices 1/2 inch wide, then slice those pieces crosswise into 1/2-inch chunks. Remember that a ripe papaya is fragile, and will turn to mush if harshly handled.
- Finishing the Salad
- Rinse the lettuce leaves and pat dry with paper towels.
- Rinse the parley and pat dry; remove the stems and discard. Finely chop the leaves.
- Arrange 2 or 3 lettuce leaves on each serving plate, making them into a bed for the salad.
- Stir the milk into the mayonnaise to thin it.
- Distribute the shrimp and papaya onto the 4 plates. Sprinkle on salt, drizzle the dressing over each serving, and scatter some chopped parsley on top. Serve.
