Butter Greens Salad w/ Grilled Shrimp

This has been a star hors d'oeuvre for many years - like the little black dress it never goes out of style. It is also a great item to add to Lemon Orzo - toss cooked shrimp into orzo salad and serve. It is great hot as well as room temperature. This makes a great summer side dish on a buffet or a wonderful entrée.
