FIRE AND ICE SALAD (PAPAYA SHRIMP SALAD)

Steps:

• In a ceramic bowl, combine the cooked rice, shrimp, and papaya.
• In a separate small bowl, combine the picante sauce, honey, pineapple juice, lime juice, ancho, cumin, basil, and olive oil; whisk together well to make the dressing.
• Pour the dressing over the rice mixture and toss well to coat.
• Chill for 1 hour.
• To serve, place butter lettuce leaves decoratively on a platter, place salad on the leaves, and serve.
• Note: the spicy-ness of this salad depends completely on the picante/salsa that you choose, because otherwise it does not contain any particularly spicy ingredients. Ancho chile powder is not very spicy at all - rather, it's smokey - so if you don't want it spicy, don't use picante/salsa that's too spicy for you.
