Thai Seafood Salad

I was in a bit of a Thai mood last week - probably because the week before that us officefolk were at Thai Express to celebrate one of my colleagues' birthday. This recipe is "inspired" from TE's seafood salad, but a side-by-side comparison will quickly show that they are completely different.
