CITRUS SHRIMP SALAD

Steps:

Cut out the orange segments, leaving the membrane behind. Squeeze any juice from the membrane into a large bowl. Repeat with the remaining orange. You should have about 1/4 cup juice. Reserve the segments.
• Whisk the cream, vinegar, mustard, 1/2 teaspoon salt and several grinds of black pepper into the orange juice. While whisking, pour in the olive oil in a slow, steady stream to make a creamy, slightly thick dressing. Chill while you make the salad.
• For the salad: Sprinkle the shrimp with the Old Bay and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the shrimp in two batches until just cooked through, about 3 minutes per batch. Remove to a plate to cool slightly, about 5 minutes.
• Combine the shrimp, reserved orange segments, avocado, cucumber and fennel in the bowl with the dressing and toss gently. Mound the lettuce on a platter or individual plates and top with the salad. Garnish with fennel fronds.
