Steps:
- Prepare the salad dressing by whisking together the pineapple juice, orange juice, and 1/4 cup olive oil. Season to taste with salt and pepper; set aside. Brush the shrimp with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, and season to taste with salt and pepper; set aside. Place the spinach leaves, mango, macadamia nuts, and banana chips into a large mixing bowl.
- Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Heat the shrimp in the skillet on both sides until just warm in the center, about 1 minute per side.
- To assemble the salads, drizzle the spinach mixture with the salad dressing, and toss until evenly combined. Divide onto four plates. Divide the warm shrimp among the plates, and top with goat cheese. This way the goat cheese will melt down a little from the warmth of the grilled shrimp. Sprinkle with toasted coconut flakes to serve.

Tips:
- Use fresh ingredients. The fresher the ingredients, the better your salad will taste. If possible, use organic produce.
- Cook the rice according to the package directions, but reduce the cooking time by 5 minutes. This will give the rice a slightly crunchy texture.
- Make sure the shrimp is cooked through. You can do this by cooking them in a skillet over medium heat until they are pink and opaque.
- Cool the rice and shrimp completely before assembling the salad. This will help prevent the salad from becoming soggy.
- Use a light dressing. A heavy dressing will overwhelm the delicate flavors of the spinach, shrimp, and rice.
- Serve the salad immediately. This salad is best served fresh. Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
Conclusion:
This spinach, wild rice, and shrimp salad is a delicious and healthy meal that is perfect for lunch or dinner. It is packed with protein, fiber, and vitamins, and it is also low in calories and fat. If you are looking for a healthy and satisfying salad, this is the one for you!
