directions
- Add all dressing ingredients to a small jar with a leak-proof lid, cover the jar, and shake to mix thoroughly. Chill until serving time.
- Place the mushrooms cap side down in a small saucepan. Add enough water to cover them completely. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for about 5 minutes. Remove pan from heat and set the mushrooms aside to cool in the liquid.
- Put shrimp in a medium sized saucepan Add the chile, salt, wine, and enough water to just cover the shrimp. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium-low and cook shrimp 2-3 minutes or until they turn pink. Drain the shrimp, discard the chile, and set the shrimp aside. When cool enough to handle, peel and de-vein the shrimp and chill them immediately.
- Drain the cooled mushrooms and cut the caps into thin slivers, discarding the stems.
- To serve, combine the shrimp, mushrooms,bell pepper, snow peas, and scallions in a large bowl. Shake the dressing, add it to the mixture, and toss to coat well. Place the salad greens on a serving platter or on individual plates. Top the greens with the salad and garnish with sesame seeds.

<p>This site has gotten so horribly bad over the past couple of years, I have stopped using it to manage my recipes and have gone over to using another one, which I have been forbidden to mention on Food.com. It's no secret that there are competitors; send me a message if you are in the same boat and would like to know. For now, I only frequent a few of the forums and that's it. The Titanic has sailed!</p>
