Ingredients

1 pound medium shrimp, shelled
1/2 teaspoon olive oil
1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon salt
Freshly ground pepper to taste
4 ounces pancetta, diced
6 ounces orecchiette, cooked
2 cups cooked small white beans
1 medium tomato, seeded and diced
4 teaspoons chopped fresh thyme
3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
Freshly ground pepper to taste
1 bunch arugula, stemmed and coarsely chopped
1/2 medium onion, very thinly sliced
1 teaspoon olive oil

Steps:

To make the shrimp, place them in a bowl and toss with the olive oil, lemon juice, salt and pepper. Marinate for 1 hour. Start a charcoal fire. Grill until cooked through, about 4 minutes per side. Set aside.
In a skillet, cook the pancetta over medium-low heat until browned, about 15 minutes. Drain on paper towels. In a large bowl, toss the pancetta with the shrimp, orecchiette, beans, tomato, thyme, lemon juice, 1 teaspoon of salt and pepper to taste.
In another bowl, toss together the arugula, onion, olive oil, 1/2 teaspoon of salt and pepper. Just before serving, toss the 2 salads together. Serve at room temperature.
