Tom's Hawaiian Papayamole

Ingredients:
Small Strawberry papaya - very ripe
6 Small cooked shrimp - w/o tails
A few green onions
Lemon
Hawaiian sea salt
Red pepper flakes/chili powder/ichimi togarashi (optional)
Sugar (optional)
Ritz crackers

Directions:
Cut and de-seed the papaya. Scoop out and cut into bits. Chop up shrimp. Combine and add a squeeze of lemon juice and a pinch of salt. You may keep the papaya/shrimp chunky like salsa, or food process it so that it's more smooth like guacamole. Once it's at the consistency you like, stir in green onions. Spoon onto crackers!

Variations: you may also substitute sugar for salt, an a sweet onion for the green onion. This will make it sweeter vs savorier. And if you're like me, I need more kick so I garnished with some red pepper flakes, etc.

Ps this recipe was originally the idea of Divemaster Tom Wong. If you enjoy it, don't thank me, thank the Wong Tom. :)
