2/3 pound cooked baby shrimp

2 limes, divided 
1/4 teaspoon curry powder 
1/4 teaspoon dill weed

2 ripe papayas, cut in half lengthwise and seeded 

Mix together shrimp, onion and celery and set aside. Whisk together mayonnaise, juice of one lime, curry powder, dill weed, mango chutney, salt and pepper.
