Shrimp and Kiwi Salad

Here's a quick dinner salad for two.  All you need to round out the meal are French bread rolls.

Ingredients:

• 1 tablespoon olive oil, divided
• 12 Vegetarian Plus shrimp, thawed
• 1 tablespoon chopped green onions
• 1 tablespoon chopped fresh cilantro
• 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
• 1 tablespoon fresh-squeezed lime juice
• 1 teaspoon grated lime rind
• 1/8 teaspoon salt
• 1/8 teaspoon crushed red pepper
• 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 cups torn red leaf lettuce
• 1 cup peeled and cubed kiwifruit

1. Heat 1 teaspoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.  Add the shrimp and saute for 4 minutes; set aside.

2. Combine the remaining 2 teaspoons olive oil in a bowl with the green onions, cilantro, rice vinegar, lime juice, lime rind, salt, red pepper, and black pepper.  Add the shrimp and toss to coat.

3. Place 1 cup lettuce on each of 2 plates.  Spoon the shrimp mixture evenly over each plate, and top evenly with the kiwi.

Tasting Notes:
I love vegan shrimp, and I love kiwi, so I thought this salad would be sublime.  Alas, while good, I didn't find it to be anything out of the ordinary.  I think the lettuce was not the best backdrop, might even serve this over rice next time.  Still, a good, quick entree salad to keep in mind in the warm months ahead.
