- 5.Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Sprinkle shrimp with the remaining crushed pepper. Add the shrimp to the hot skillet and cook until bright pink and browned, 1 to 3 minutes per side.
- 6.Transfer the salad to a platter or 4 dinner plates. Top with the reserved orange segments, the shrimp and the remaining 4 teaspoons capers and 1 tablespoon walnuts. Serve drizzled with the remaining dressing.
