Step 1: Dry roast the raw peanuts in a skillet for about 10 minutes over medium-low heat until brown, flipping frequently. Be careful not to let them burn.
Step 2: In a mortar, pound the peanuts into small pieces. Remove from the mortar and set aside.
Step 3: Place the garlic and Thai chili peppers in a clean mortar. Pound into tiny pieces.
Step 4: Add the dried shrimp and pound until flattened into soft crumbly pieces.
Step 5: Gradually add the green beans and green papaya. Pound to slightly crush and soften.
Step 6: Add the cherry tomatoes and palm sugar; lightly pound to release some of the tomato's juices and to dissolve the sugar.
Step 7: In a medium bowl combine the crushed ingredients, lime juice and zest, fish sauce, and ground peanuts.
Step 8: Serve on a bed of lettuce.
