Instructions
Bring a large pot of water to a boil.
Add the shrimp and cook until pink, one to two minutes.
Drain shrimp in a colander, and then toss in a bowl of ice water. When cool, drain again. Peel off the shells, leaving the tails on. (You can remove the tails if you'd like.)
In a medium-sized bowl, mix together the crème fraiche and horseradish. Season to taste with salt and pepper
Using a microplane, zest one of the limes. Then juice both of the limes.
Add the zest and juice to second bowl, along with the honey and ginger.
Whisk until combined. Continue whisking and slowly drizzle in the olive oil. Season the dressing to taste with salt and pepper.
In a large bowl, toss the lettuce with about half of the dressing.
Add more of the dressing if the lettuce seems underdressed.
Lay two ounces of the salmon on one plate. Top each with ten shrimp, a few dollops of the horseradish sauce, a handful of the lettuce, and a drizzle of the dressing. Repeat process on a second plate.
Recommended wine: Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, Sauvignon Blanc
Salmon works really well with Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, and Sauvignon Blanc. To decide on white or red, you should consider your seasoning and sauces. Chardonnay is a great friend to buttery, creamy dishes, while sauvignon blanc can complement herb or citrus-centric dishes. A light-bodied, low-tannin red such as the pinot noir goes great with broiled or grilled salmon. You could try La Crema Russian River Chardonnay. Reviewers quite like it with a 4.1 out of 5 star rating and a price of about 28 dollars per bottle.

La Crema Russian River Chardonnay
On the nose are citrus tones, with green apple, pineapple and floral aromas accentuated by caramel and hazelnut traces. The bright fruit and crisp acidity typical of the Russian River appellation are apparent in the mouth, with lemon-lime components and concentrated pear notes, offset by a lingering apple and spice finish.
