Preparation

1. Working with a bowl to collect the juices, peel oranges with paring knife, removing white pith. Cut out each section, leaving membrane behind. Place sections in medium bowl. Squeeze remains to extract juice, and set juice aside.
2. Heat oil in small saucepan over low heat. Stir in curry powder. Cook until fragrant, about 2 minutes. Stir in sugar, and cook until dissolved. Add rum. Using long kitchen match, carefully ignite rum. Remove from heat. Shake pan until flames subside. Stir in 2/3 cup reserved orange juice, along with lime juice, salt and jalapeno. Cool to room temperature.
3. Add shrimp and papaya to orange sections. Pour marinade over, and toss to combine, adding black beans, if using.
4. Divide lettuce among 6 plates. Top with shrimp. Drizzle with remaining dressing. Top with cilantro.
