To Prepare
In a large bowl, whisk together 1 T. olive oil, Todd's Bayou Dirt, lime juice and Worcestershire sauce. Peel and devein shrimp, then add to marinade, turning to coat.
Meanwhile, heat charcoal or gas grill for direct medium-high heat. If desired, shrimp can be cooked in a non-stick skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat. Thread shrimp onto metal skewers or wooden skewers soaked in water for 30 minutes. Brush grill with oil. Using tongs, carefully add shrimp to hot grill rack. Cook for 4 minutes on each side, so that shrimp are slightly charred on the surface and opaque. Remove from grill and set aside.
Mix together greens, avocado, mango, tomato and onion. Add blue cheese, if desired. Whisk together all ingredients for the vinaigrette, except 1 t. chopped cilantro. Toss greens mixture with half of dressing.
To Serve
Pile dressed greens on large platter. Remove shrimp from skewers and add to the greens. Drizzle 1 T. of reserved vinaigrette over the shrimp, then top with chopped pistachios and fresh cilantro.
