Combining orange with cinnamon creates an almost magical flavor pairing. But it’s crucial that you add the cayenne. The shrimp needs the kick of the cayenne to make the cinnamon work in a savory context here. And the best news is: this innovative, low-fat salad keeps you in your skinny jeans! A nice change from shrimp with cocktail sauce.
