Coat an outdoor grill or stove-top grill pan with cooking spray and preheat to medium-high.  Skewer shrimp on the skewers and set aside.  Zest lime and then squeeze juice to equal 1 tablespoon.

In a small bowl, whisk together orange juice, lime juice, lime zest, oil, mustard, salt, and black pepper.  Remove 3 tablespoons of citrus mixture and brush all over shrimp (reserve remaining mixture to use as a vinaigrette for the salad greens).  Grill shrimp 3 minutes on 1 side.  Flip and grill 1-3 minutes, or until shrimp are bright pink and cooked through (do not over cook).

Add thyme and chives to reserved citrus mixture.  Arrange salad greens on 4 individual plates.  Top greens with cherry tomatoes and grilled shrimp.  Spoon reserved citrus vinaigrette over top.
