Squeeze the juice from the remaining pulp and ends into a measuring cup. Repeat with all the citrus.
Use 1/3 cup citrus juice and add olive oil, sweet chile sauce and salt to taste.
For each salad, use 3 grapefruit sections and 3 or 4 orange sections, depending on the size (reserve unused sections and juice and refrigerate for another use).

When ready to serve, gently toss the avocado with the shrimp, citrus and dressing. Arrange 2 or 3 lettuce leaves on six salad plates.
Spoon the salad mixture into the leaves and serve immediately.
