Add shrimp and tomatoes and marinate for at least 30 minutes. Chop avocado and squeeze lemon juice to prevent browning. Wash and dry salad greens and chill.

Make dressing: Combine Calizo Extra Virgin Olive Oil with Lemon, champagne vinegar, Calizo Puttanesca Naturale and grated Pecorino Romano in a jar with a lid. Shake to combine. Or whisk together. Set aside. Heat grill until hot. Grill shrimp until pink. Chop in thirds and place in a bowl with marinated tomatoes and avocado. Add Calizo Citrus & Herbs Eggless Mayo and orange and grapefruit juices and mix thoroughly. Combine dressing with greens. Grill orange and grapefruit slices. To serve, place quinoa on each plate. Place a scoop of shrimp salad on top of quinoa. Place green salad on the side. Add grilled orange and grapefruit slices as garnish. Sprinkle with chopped almonds.
