Ingredients
- 2 large navel oranges
- 1 tablespoon heavy cream
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar or white wine vinegar
- 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 1/4 pounds extra-large shrimp, peeled and deveined, tails removed
- 1/2 teaspoon Old Bay seasoning
- Kosher salt
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 large ripe avocado, pitted and diced
- 1 Persian cucumber, thinly sliced into half moons
- 1 medium bulb fennel, trimmed, quartered, cored and very thinly sliced (on a mandoline or by hand), fronds reserved for garnish
- 2 heads butter lettuce, trimmed and torn into bite-size pieces
Instructions
- For the dressing: Cut the top and bottom from an orange so it sits flat. Working from the top down, cut away the peel and pith to expose the flesh. 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.

Hubby is extremely picky, said he didnt like the sauce, then asked for seconds! Winner for sure
Everyone loved this dish. It was easy to prepare, looks fantastic when done, and tastes great. Definitely will do again.
Love, love, love this salad! My kids requested I make this salad two nights in a row. And they are not salad eaters! I paired it with a baked lemon butter talapia. Perfect!
The salad was delicious with flavors I love ! Can’t wait to make it again! Making for neighbors this weekend!
