Remove the orange slices from each half and discard the membranes*. Mix the orange pieces with pilaf, shrimp, raisins and almonds in a bowl. Whisk all the sauce ingredients and toss with the pilaf. Leave in the fridge for 30 minutes. Fill the orange shells with it. Place a green lettuce leaf on the serving plate. Place the Orange baskets on it and serve.

* If you have trouble cleaning out the orange shells, serve in a small glass bowl instead:)
