The Combo That Makes Just a Really Heavenly Bite.
The first night I made this for dinner, I put it all on the plate, we took our first bites, and both Bjork and I said out loud – Yes. This is really good. Yes, yes, yes.
Is it because it’s an excuse to load up half the plate with that gorgeous peach salad? Maybe. I love peaches.
But also, the shrimp are delicious! I made this one more time this afternoon to make sure I had the spices all correct before we published this recipe, and I ended up just standing over the pan eating just one more. And then just one more. And then just one more. They can easily stand on their own.
Besides being super easy (YAY IT’S MY FAVORITE THING), the thing I like about this is that it creates that mix of heat, smoke, and sweetness with some new flavors.
In our house we rely on a lot of the same old good stuff: Soy. Cilantro. Cumin, chili, green onion, garlic, etc. But this plays in a slightly different space! And I love it. We have the smoky warmth of curry powder and smoked paprika, sweetness from peaches, tang from lime juice and shallots, and freshness from MINT! which never fails to leave me feeling happy. It’s just a juicy, delicious combination. It reminds me a bit of this cult fave BBQ salmon recipe, but slightly easier and faster.
My girls typically lean into the rice and peach salad and might eat a few of the pre-cayenne shrimp, and Bjork and I can crush the rest of the shrimp pan, no problem.
It’s been a happy little summertime number for us! Hope you like it!
