Gingered-Beet Salad with Shrimp

I am forever looking for creative ideas to use what I have on hand.  I had beets and I had shrimp - something told me that the combination would work!  I did a little looking around with help from Google and stumbled across a beautiful gingered-beet salad with oranges on the lovely blog Caviar and Codfish which was adapted from Jean-Georges Vongerichten’s Gingered-Beet Salad recipe.  Since I didn't have any oranges, I sought out the original recipe from the New York Times.   Roasted beets, grilled shrimp, ginger, sherry vinegar and chives = delicious!  This was our Friday night appetizer and I am still thinking about it! 

Happy Halloween!

    Beets are so beautiful I feel compelled to make them every time I see a dish and I don't like them! But husband does and this will go into my repertoire. Maybe this is the time I am transformed.
