Preheat your oven to 400 degrees. Spray a baking sheet with cooking spray. Stir together the peanut sauce ingredients in a small bowl until smooth. Do the same with the vinaigrette ingredients, using a whisk until the dressing has fully emulsified. Taste the vinaigrette. Not spicy enough for ya? Add more chile-garlic paste until it's where you want it. Season your shrimp on both sides with salt, pepper, ginger and garlic and place on your prepared baking sheet. Bake approximately 4 minutes, until pink and firm. <span class="bold">Do not overbake!</span> Nobody, but nobody likes overcooked shrimp! Assemble your salad by mixing together the greens, sweet bell peppers, shredded carrots and lima beans or edamame. Toss with 2 tablespoons of the chile-lime vinaigrette. Top with the warm shrimp, drizzle with the peanut sauce, garnish with cilantro and try not to eat too fast, it's terrible for the digestion!
