Instructions

Toast the shredded coconut in a dry skillet over medium heat, stirring constantly, until it is deep brown.
Blitz the toasted coconut, roasted peanuts and dried shrimp in a grinder or blender for 10-15 seconds, until fluffy. Skip this if the shrimp are very thin and small; chop them first if they are very large.
In a mortar, pound the chilies into a paste. Add the palm sugar and pound until dissolved.
Add the fish sauce and lime juice and stir to mix.
Pour the dressing into a mixing bowl, add the remaining ingredients and toss to combine.
Serve as is, or with wild betel leaves for wrapping bite-sized portions.
