60-70 small shrimp, cooked, tails removed
3 tablespoons fresh orange juice
3 tablespoons sugar
2 tablespoons distilled white vinegar
1 teaspoon grated orange peel (optional)
1/4 cup Dijon mustard
finely chopped fresh chives


Cook asparagus in large pot of boiling salted water until crisp-tender, about 4 minutes. Blanche in ice water to cool and stop cooking. Peel oranges and break into individual pieces. Plate shrimp, asparagus and orange slices.

Whisk 3 tablespoons fresh orange juice, sugar, vinegar, and orange peel in bowl until sugar dissolves. Whisk in mustard.
