For dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together first 4 ingredients (orange juice through orange peel); blend well. Slowly whisk in olive oil; set aside

For the salad: Bring a small saucepan of water to a boil; add pearl onions and boil for 3 minutes; drain and cool slightly then peel, leaving root ends intact.

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Place onions on one baking sheet and shrimp on another baking sheet. Drizzle onions and shrimp with a little olive oil (you don’t need much) then sprinkle with salt and pepper. Sprinkle shrimp on both sides with paprika. Roast onions until cooked through, about 10 minutes, stirring once. Roast shrimp until cooked through, about 5 minutes total, turning once.
