Notes
*Use a hand held julienne cutter or the julienne setting on your food processor to slice the green papaya and carrots.
**to boil the shrimp, bring a large pot of water to a boil, turn the pot down to simmer add the shrimp and cook until they turn pink about 2-3 minutes, immediately drain and put under cold water to cool and stop the cooking process
***The shrimp starts to get mushy if you let the salad marinate too long
