INSTRUCTIONS

Grind the chiles in a spice mill to form a powder (about 2
tablespoons). In a bowl, mix chile powder with oil, salt, garlic,
cilantro, and lime juice. Add shrimp and marinate for 2 to 3 hours at
room temperature, or overnight in a refrigerator. Combine melons,
sugar, mint, lime juice, and vinegar, and refrigerate for at least 30
minutes.  Prepare a hot grill. Remove shrimp from marinade and reserve
marinade.  Grill shrimp for about 3 minutes, and set aside to cool.
Toss the  romaine with 4 tablespoons of the reserved marinade, and form
a bed  of greens on each plate. Drain the melons slightly. Peel the
shrimp,  toss lightly in some of the reserved marinade. Place melons
and  shrimp on romaine.  Mark Miller writes of this recipe: "This is
one of my favorite brunch  dishes. It combines the searing heat of
shrimp marinated with chiles  de arbol and the refreshing taste of ripe
melons. Mint provides the  perfect accent in this dish as it combines
well with the fruit  flavors and contrasts with the heat of the chiles.
The secret to  making this salad is to cool the grilled shrimp in their
shells at  room temperature rather than refrigerating them, which can
toughen  and dry them out, and to peel them at the last minute. Feel
free to  use any combination of melons: only the watermelon is a must!"
