Easy Shrimp and White Bean Salad

A good salad allows each flavor to combine and contrast with the others. Here, tasty shrimp heat in a mix of aromatics and crushed red pepper. The mellow white beans temper the spiciness. Peppery arugula adds another layer of flavor.  The flavors play so well together.
