Instructions
Fill a large bowl halfway with ice water and set aside. Bring a medium pot of salted water to a boil.
Add the wax beans and green beans and cook until just crisp-tender, 3 to 4 minutes.
Drain and immediately plunge into the ice water to stop the cooking.
Let sit in the ice water a few minutes, then drain well.
Meanwhile, put the potatoes in a medium saucepan, cover with salted cold water and bring to a boil. Lower the heat and simmer until the potatoes are almost cooked through (a knife inserted into the center should meet just a little resistance), 8 to 10 minutes.
Drain well; let cool slightly.
Whisk the vinegar, mustard, honey, garlic and anchovy paste in a bowl and season with salt and pepper. Slowly whisk in 1/2 cup olive oil until emulsified.
Preheat a grill to high. Slice the potatoes lengthwise, brush with 2 tablespoons olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
Place on the grill cut-side down and grill until browned, 2 to 3 minutes. Flip and grill until tender, 1 to 2 more minutes. Keep the grill on.
Combine the wax and green beans, grilled potatoes, tomatoes, onion, basil and parsley in a large bowl.
Add the vinaigrette and toss gently. Season with salt and pepper. Cover and set aside at room temperature.
Combine the fennel seeds, mustard powder, coriander and 1/2 teaspoon each salt and pepper in a bowl.
Add the shrimp and toss to evenly coat.
Add 1/4 cup olive oil and toss to coat.
Place the shrimp on the grill and cook until golden brown and slightly charred, 1 1/2 to 2 minutes. Flip the shrimp and continue grilling until just cooked through, 45 seconds to 1 minute. Divide the salad among 4 plates and top with the shrimp.

Recommended wine: Pinot Grigio, Riesling, Sauvignon Blanc
Shrimp works really well with Pinot Grigio, Riesling, and Sauvignon Blanc. These crisp white wines work well with shrimp prepared in a variety of ways, whether grilled, fried, or in garlic sauce. You could try Esperto Pinot Grigio. Reviewers quite like it with a 4.5 out of 5 star rating and a price of about 10 dollars per bottle.
Esperto Pinot Grigio
Brilliant straw color with reflections of gold. Crisp and clean with delicate nose of orange flower and wild rose with apricot, white peach and orange peel. Crisp, dry and well structured with golden apple and citrus.Wonderfully versatile. Excellent as an apertif and the perfect complement to light appetizers, salads, grilled chicken and fresh seafood. Enjoy well chilled.
