Salad of Shrimp and Beech Mushrooms

Brightly colored and swiftly assembled, this Asian-accented salad makes a lovely lunch or supper dish. The lightly bitter mushrooms balance the shrimp’s sweetness and offer a pleasing springiness. For variety, thin-slice any red radicchio to replace the Belgian endive or combine with it. I find shrimp much more appealing warm or at room temperature than cold, but you may want to chill yours.
