Mango Shrimp Soba Noodle Salad

This salad contains one exotic ingredient: tamarind concentrate.  I was easily able to find it at Saar's Market in Oak Harbor.  If you have a grocery that has a lot of Chinese ingredients..you will be able to find this....if not...let me know...I would be happy to share some of mine with you if you want to try this recipe...it is so worth it....very quick easy and sooooooo good.
