Thai Green Apple Salad

I love reading menus at restaurants because I can pretty much steal the restaurant's recipes from the ingredients listed!  I found a detailed list of ingredients for a Thai green apple salad at a restaurant recently and decided to recreate it at home without ever having tasted it.  I think it worked out well, except that I would julienne the apples instead of cube them and dice the tomatoes and cucumbers finely next time.

Ingredients
Green Apples-julienned
Cucumber-diced
Tomato-diced
Dried Small Shrimp (10)-minced
Garlic-minced
Fish Sauce
Sugar
Lime

Put the dried whole shrimp in a small bowl of water and a bit of cooking wine and let it soak for at least 15 minutes before mincing.  Mix the fruits together in a large bowl and dress with some sugar, fish sauce, and lime juice.  Fry the minced shrimp and garlic until golden, scoop out with a slotted spoon and dust onto the salad.
