Steps:
- Whisk together vinegar, garlic and anchovy paste and season with salt and pepper. Slowly whisk in the olive oil and set aside.
- Prepare a large bowl with ice water and set aside. Bring a medium pot of cold water to a boil then season with a tablespoon of salt. Add the beans and cook for approximately 3 to 4 minutes or until just crisp tender. Drain and immediately plunge into the ice water to stop the cooking. Let sit in the ice water for a few minutes, and then drain well. Place potatoes in a medium saucepan, cover with cold water, season with 1 tablespoon of salt and cook until almost cooked through (a knife or skewer inserted into the center goes in with a little resistance). Drain well and place on a baking sheet to cool slightly. Once cool enough to handle, slice potatoes lengthwise, brush with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Place on the grill, cut side down and cook until golden brown, about 2 to 3 minutes, turn over and grill until just cooked through, about 1 to 2 minutes longer. Place cooked beans, grilled potatoes, tomatoes, onions, basil and parsley in a large bowl, add the vinaigrette and gently toss to combine, season with salt and pepper. Cover and let sit at room temperature while you prepare the shrimp.
- Heat the grill to high. Combine the fennel, mustard, coriander, salt and pepper in a bowl. Place shrimp in a large bowl and toss with the spice rub until evenly coated. Place the shrimp on the grates of the grill in an even layer and grill until golden brown and slightly charred, 1 1/2 to 2 minutes. Turn the shrimp over and continue grilling until just cooked through, 45 seconds to 1 minute longer. Remove the shrimp to a platter. Arrange the vegetables on 4 large plates and top each salad with 5 to 6 shrimp.

Steps:
- To make the rub:
- Pulverize star anise, coriander, parsley flakes, dried chives, tobarashi, garlic powder, and salt with a mortar and pestle, in a spice mill, or with a coffee grinder dedicated to spices. Coat shrimp with rub, cover and refrigerate for 1 hour.;
- For the Ponzu sauce:
- Mix soy sauce, vinegar, brown sugar, lemon juice, lime juice, ginger juice, and chives and make sure brown sugar has dissolved. Add parsley and refrigerate.
- Heat grill. Skewer shrimp and grill them until they are pink and just turn opaque. Place in a nonreactive container and cover with Ponzu sauce. Chill for 2 hours before serving.
Tips:
- Use fresh, high-quality ingredients. This will make a big difference in the flavor of your salad.
- Don't overcook the shrimp. Shrimp cooks quickly, so be careful not to overcook it or it will become tough.
- Make sure the spice rub is evenly distributed on the shrimp. This will help to ensure that the shrimp is flavorful throughout.
- Don't skimp on the vinaigrette. The vinaigrette is what brings all the flavors of the salad together, so make sure to use a good quality olive oil and vinegar.
- Serve the salad immediately. This will prevent the shrimp from getting tough and the vegetables from wilting.
- If you're using canned beans, be sure to rinse and drain them before adding them to the salad. This will help to remove the excess salt and starch.
- To make a vegetarian version of this salad, omit the shrimp and add extra vegetables, such as roasted red peppers, zucchini, or artichoke hearts.
