- 1/4 cup bottled Italian vinaigrette salad dressing
- 20 3/4-inch-thick slices baguette-style French bread
- 2 tablespoons olive oil

Directions
1. Peel and devein shrimp, if desired, leaving tails intact. Rinse shrimp. In a large skillet, cook shrimp in a large amount of boiling water for 2 to 3 minutes or until shrimp are opaque. Drain well.
2. Preheat broiler. In a medium bowl, whisk together pumpkin, goat cheese, lemon juice, and honey; set aside.
3. In a large bowl, combine shrimp, arugula, onion, pumpkin seeds, and salad dressing; set aside.
