Shrimp: Peel and devein shrimp and set aside in a platter. Heat the oil in a non-stick pan, add the hot pepper flakes and garlic and saut‚ for 1 minute. Remove from the heat, allow the bubbles to subside, then pour over the shrimp. Toss to coat and set aside to marinate for 15 minutes. Then heat a large, heavy iron skillet and pan-grill the shrimp in a single layer, turning them once. Pan-grill only until the shrimp are cooked through, about 2 minutes per side.

Spoon 2 tbs of the beans in the center of each plate, tuck in the marinated orange-ginger segments and add the shrimp attractively around the beans. Scatter a few onion rings over the surface.
