The combination that creates a truly heavenly bite.
The first night I made this for dinner, I put it all on the plate, we took the first few bites, and both Björk and I said out loud: Yes, this is really good. Yes, yes, yes.
Maybe it’s because it’s an excuse to fill half the plate with that delicious 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 all the right spices before posting this recipe, and I ended up standing in front of 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 (YES, IT’S MY FAVORITE THING!), what I love about this is that it creates that mix of heat, smoke, and sweetness with some new flavors.
In our house, we use a lot of the same good stuff as always: soy, coriander, cumin, chili, green onion, garlic, etc. But this is applied in a slightly different space! And I love it. We have the smoky heat of curry powder and smoked paprika, the sweetness of peaches, the tanginess of lime juice and shallots, and the freshness of MINT, which never fails to make me feel happy. It’s a juicy and delicious combination. It reminds me a bit of this cult-favorite grilled salmon recipe, but a little easier and quicker.
My girls usually go for the peach rice salad and can eat some of the shrimp without the cayenne, and Bjork and I can smash through the rest of the shrimp pan without a problem.
It’s been a very happy summer for us! I hope you like it!
