1
First make the orange vinaigrette (orange juice- olive oil). In a medium bowl, whisk all but the oil, and then drizzle in oil, whisking. Place shrimp in another bowl and pour in about 2 tablespoons vinaigrette to briefly marinate. Set aside vinaigrette and the bowl of shrimp.
2
To a large mixing bowl, add the rest of the ingredients except the pomegranate seeds, blue cheese, and nuts, if using. Stir in the marinated shrimp. Sprinkle with 1/8 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper and a pinch of crushed red pepper. Stir gently. Add just enough vinaigrette to moisten evenly. Taste and adjust seasonings.
3
Spoon onto a large serving platter or bowl. Garnish with pomegranate seeds, blue cheese, and nuts, if using. Serve immediately.
4
Cook's Note: If you make a whole pan of quinoa (1 cup dry to 2 cups water--bring to a boil/reduce heat for 25 min.), use the leftovers for breakfast. Add hot milk, maple syrup, and dried cranberries or chopped walnuts for a great cereal.
