A refreshing and vibrant shrimp salad with a tropical twist, perfect for a light meal or side dish.
Prepare the shrimp by cooking or thawing them if pre-cooked.
If using frozen shrimp, thaw them under cold running water for a quick defrost.
Dice the mango, slice the cucumber, halve the cherry tomatoes, and thinly slice the onion.
Use a sharp knife to make clean cuts and preserve the texture of the ingredients.
Combine the shrimp, mango, cucumber, cherry tomatoes, and onion in a large mixing bowl.
Gently toss the ingredients to avoid bruising the fruits.
In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, sugar, pepper, lime juice, and chopped cilantro.
Taste the dressing and adjust the seasoning to your preference.
Pour the dressing over the salad and toss until evenly coated.
Ensure all ingredients are well coated for a balanced flavor.
Serve the salad immediately or chill for 15 minutes before serving.
Chilling the salad enhances the flavors and makes it more refreshing.
