Directions

Prepare rice according to package directions; let cool.

In a large mixing bowl toss together gently the cooled cooked rice, shrimp, onion, bell pepper, jalapeno pepper and salad greens.

Whisk together the salad dressing and orange marmalade, blending well. Add salt and pepper to taste, if desired.

Add dressing, Asian pear, avocado, mango and mint to shrimp mixture just before serving, tossing gently until well blended. Divide equally among 4 serving plates.
