A wonderful salad! I love the way the sliced shrimp curls when you sear it just to doneness. I added thinly sliced red onion and toasted sliced almonds. Since this was just for three of us, served with asparagus soup, I reduced the proportions and now have a nice jar of shallot vinaigrette for future salads.
