To prepare à la carte:

1. Place 1 Tbsp. of olive oil in a heated, nonstick sauté pan. Add 7 shrimp to the pan. Sauté until just cooked through.

2. Place 4 oz. of greens and herbs in a chilled stainless steel mixing bowl. Drizzle 1½ oz. of cilantro chutney over the top of the greens. Season with salt and pepper. Toss together until blended.

3. Mound the greens on a chilled salad bowl or plate. Place ⅗ oz. of tomatoes and ½ oz. of radishes on the top center of the greens. Sprinkle 1 oz. of crispy lentils over the top of the salad. Going around the base of the salad, stand the shrimp with the tails up.
