The cool summery shrimp salad is a terrific meal any time of year. The quickly sauteed coconut milk, green onion, garlic, and ginger mixture develop a ton of flavor and serve as the creamy mayonnaise substitute for binding the salad. Make this one the night before to let is merry flavors overnight. The mango adds a tropical feeling to the salad and a fruity hit. These pitas are wonderful as take-along picnics mains, brunch delights or for a cool dinner idea for hot summer nights. Serve with a crunch green salad. You can also make the shrimp salad and serve it directly on greens, skipping the pita.
