* Preheat grill to medium-high or place a grill pan over medium-high heat until hot.

* Sprinkle shrimp lightly with salt and pepper or chili powder and thread shrimp onto skewers. (If using a grill pan, you don’t need to skewer the shrimp.)

* Oil the grill rack or the grill pan. Grill the shrimp until pink and firm, turning once, about 4 minutes total. Serve the shrimp and the avocado on the white bean salad, drizzled with the reserved dressing.

* Make Ahead Tip: Cover and refrigerate the salad and shrimp separately for up to 1 day.
