Step 1.
Bring a pot of salted water to the boil, then add the prawns, cover with a lid and turn off the heat. Leave for 5 minutes, then strain and set aside.
Step 2.
To make the dressing, roughly chop the garlic cloves and chillies, add to a small bowl with brown sugar, fish sauce and lime juice (this entire process can be done in a pestle and mortar if you have one) then set aside.
Step 3.
Now roughly chop the coriander and finely slice the shallots. Peel the mango and slice it into large, ½ thick cm discs on either side of the seed then slice into thin matchsticks. Peel and cut the carrots into matchsticks or use a peeler to make ribbons. Half the cherry tomatoes and then lightly crush the roasted peanuts. Place everything into a large bowl with the cooked prawns.
Step 4.
Pour the dressing only when you are ready to serve, or the salad will wilt. Toss everything together with a sprinkle of salt and serve immediately. Finish with a pile of crispy shallots and serve with lime wedges.
