How to Make Asian Spinach And Shrimp Salad With Sesame Dressing

  1. Juice oranges and set aside. Reserve 1/2 cup of juice for the dressing.
  2. In a small saucepan, bring 1/2 cup orange juice to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce heat and simmer until reduced to about 1 tablespoon (about 8-10 minutes).
  3. Meanwhile, wash and thoroughly dry the spinach. Place in a large bowl and set aside.
  4. In a small bowl, whisk together the reduced orange juice, zest of 1 orange, grated ginger, rice vinegar, and honey.
  5. Whisk in the vegetable oil and sesame oil. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  6. In a separate bowl, gently toss the cooked shrimp, segments from 1 orange (or more, depending on preference), and sliced scallions with 2 tablespoons of the dressing. Season with salt and pepper.
  7. Add the spinach to the remaining dressing and toss gently to coat. Season with salt and pepper.
  8. Divide the spinach mixture among 4 plates. Top with the shrimp and orange mixture.
  9. Serve immediately and enjoy!
