Sugar Mill, Island Shrimp Salad

 



2 pounds cooked large deveined, shelled, shrimp
2 papayas, peeled, sliced, seeded
2 mangoes, peeled, sliced
1/2 fresh pineapple, peeled, cored, and cut into spears or cubed
2 avocados peeled and sliced
2 kiwis sliced
Butter lettuce or red leaf lettuce 

Dressing:
1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
2 tablespoons fresh or dried grated Coconut
2 Tablespoons lime juice (I prefer using Joe and Nellie’s Key Lime juice if I don't feel like squeezing limes)
1 Tablespoon grated lime zest
2 teaspoons honey
1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger root
1/4 cup mayonnaise

 Garnish:
Toasted dried or fresh coconut
Chopped macadamia nuts
Chopped mint leaves 

Arrange fruit and shrimp on a bed of lettuce on a large platter.  Combine all of the dressing ingredients except for the mayonnaise.  Whirl in a food processor or with a mixer until it gets thick and fluffy.  Fold in the mayonnaise.  Garnish the salad and serve the dressing on the side.
