- Place onion in a small bowl, cover with cold water and some ice; let stand for 10 minutes, or until ready to use.
- Meanwhile, make Creamy Lime-Chile Dressing by whisking all dressing ingredients together.
- Toss romaine, endive, orange segments and the drained onion in a large bowl.

- Toss avocados with lime juice and divide among the salads.
- Drain the shrimp, reserving the marinade.
- Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.

- Add the reserved marinade to the pan and bring to a boil, stirring; then spoon over shrimp.
