                        Vinaigrette:
     1/3  c             Olive oil
   5      tb            Lime juice -- fresh
                        Salt and pepper
   1      ds            Cayenne
   2      tb            Cilantro -- chopped
                        Salad:
   1      c             Jicama -- julienned
   2      tb            Peanut oil
   2                    Red chiles
   2                    Shallot -- chopped
   2      lb            Shrimp -- peeled and deveined
     1/4  c             Scallion -- thinly sliced

Prepare vinaigrette by mixing ingredients thoroughly. Pour about a
fourth of the vinaigrette over jicama and set aside.

Heat peanut oil in a large skillet, break chilies in half and add to
oil. Add shallots first, then shrimp, being careful not to cool the
oil. Cook for about 1 minute, stirring and turning shrimp. Do not
overcook. Remove from pan and discard chilies. Toss shrimp and
shallots immediately in the vinaigrette. Add jicama and scallions and
serve at once.

To serve chilled, prepare vinaigrette and refrigerate. Cook shrimp
and shallots as indicated but allow to cool. Add to vinaigrette and
chill. Before serving, slice jicama and scallions, add to mixture and
serve on leaf lettuce.
