INGREDIENTS
- 1/2 Papaya gutted and sliced at the bottom to stand up right like a bowl
- 2oz. Fresh Crab Meat
- 2oz. Small Shrimp (chopped)
- 1/2 tbsp. Mango Aioli ( 1/2 diced Mango, 1/2 tbsp. Mayo, Lemon zest and 1tbsp. Lemon Juice, Salt and Pepper)
- 1/2tsp. Chopped Pistachios (roasted)
- 1/2 tsp. Chives
- 1/4 tsp. Sriracha sauce for heat

METHOD
- In a mixing bowl, mix seafood, mango aioli, nuts and chives. Add heat and season gently as the crab may be slightly salty as will the nuts.
- To gut the Papaya, cut at the bottom to stand up right like a bowl. Drizzle the Naturel Agave on the Papaya to bring out the natural sweetness. Perfect combo with the salt & heat.
- To fill papaya, scoop the seafood mixture and finish with more pistachio dust and wild cilantro.
- Top off the Seafood Salad with The Better Chip in your favorite flavor, Chef Davidi used Beet, for a nice crunch!
