Asian Shrimp & Pear Salad

Most of my best recipes are beautiful accidents. This is a perfect example of one of my best accidents. This dish was created on a night when I had produce and shrimp that would spoil if they were not used. Shrimp and Brussels sprouts and mandarin oranges? Turns out they have more in common than I thought!
