To remove the flesh from the pomelo, peel rind from fruit and break fruit in half. Individually peel skin from each segment and gently pull flesh out. (This ensures the segments are not broken and bruised.) Gently tear segments into bite-sized pieces.

Step 2

Step 3

Top with fried shallots and serve.
