To prepare salad:
Peel oranges with a paring knife, removing the white pith. Quarter and slice the oranges.
Wipe endives with a damp cloth (do not soak–they tend to absorb water); cut into 1/4-inch-thick slices.
Wash and dry watercress.
Peel and pit avocado; cut into thin slices lengthwise. To assemble salads:
Alternate avocado slices and orange sections in a fan shape on each of 4 salad plates. Top with endive, watercress and shrimp, if using. Drizzle with dressing, sprinkle with pomegranate seeds and serve.
