A Peach Salad Served with Grilled Shrimp

This is the idea of summer in a bowl. In addition to a fresh peach and cucumber salad, we would like to have spicy prawns which have all the delightful spice, smoke, and sweetness that we may fancy.

Ingredients

Spicy Shrimp

• 1 lb. shrimp
• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 1 teaspoon curry powder
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/2 teaspoon coarse sea salt (start here, add more as necessary)
• 1/8 to 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (add to taste – it’ll make it spicy!)
• 1 tablespoon butter
• a drizzle of honey (to taste – 1 tsp to 1 tablespoon)

Peach Salad

• 2 peaches, pitted and sliced (about 2 cups)
• half an English cucumber, thinly sliced (about 1 cup)
• half a shallot, thinly sliced (about 1/4 cup)
• 2–3 teaspoons olive oil
• 1 lime, juiced and zested (about 1 tablespoon juice, 1 teaspoon zest)
• salt and pepper to taste
• mint leaves (about 2 packed tablespoons)
• 2–3 teaspoons honey to finish (I like hot honey!)
• 1 avocado, cubed (optional)

Instructions

• Combine all the ingredients for the peach salad, including the rice, and toss them together. Prepare anything else you might serve this with (I prefer rice).
• Shrimp seasoning can be prepared by tossing the shrimp with the available seasonings.
• Prawns should be sautéed in a hot skillet over avocado oil using medium heat. Add the prawns and cook for almost two minutes on either side until they become no longer transparent.
• For the finishing touches add a knob of butter and a drizzle of honey to the pan at the very last. Toss the prawns with the butter and honey; then use the honey to scrape off some of the browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Not only will the prawns be delicious, but they’ll be saucy and glaze, too.
• It’s Over with You! Tasty! Put prawns on top of the rice, and serve with a healthy dose of that peach salad. Yum, that is it.

 Observations

• I never include the cayenne pepper until after I have removed a few prawns from the pan for my girls when preparing this recipe for my family. I will add the cayenne for my husband and me, but they just make a few that aren’t too spicy after getting started. ???? The mix of the sweet and spicy is so divine.
• There was barely enough for me, my husband, and our two small children to finish just above a couple of prawns each so this was plenty big enough to feed all of us. My recommendation, if you have four adults, would be to add more pounds of prawns and add a lot more spices.
• As much as I’d want to enjoy a scrumptious dinner with tails in it, I have concluded that it makes even more sense to remove the tails when preparing the dish. Thus I would have to start with thawing frozen shrimp first. Remove tails, mix shrimp with spices, and you’re ready to go either way!

Conclusion

Peach Salad with Grilled Shrimp as DessertFew flavors are as ideally suited to freshness and satisfaction as peach salad and grilled prawns in the gastronomic world. This meal will celebrate the bright flavors of summer, as it not only evokes the lovely contrast between sweet and savory but also, with plump ripe peaches bursting in natural sweetness, creates a delicate balance that is pleasing to the taste with the grilled shrimp’s smoky charred flavor. It is very easy to prepare, so it can easily accommodate more formal dinner parties on weekends and informal weeknight dinners.

The prawns are marinated in a mixture of flavors-so garlic, lime juice, and a touch of spice-and then sucked up by the prawns. The crunch from the grilled shrimp contrasts beautifully with the juicy, delicate inside, giving the shrimp a more nuanced taste. There is no limit to what you can do with the salad itself: mix in some fresh herbs like spinach or rocket, with other seasonal ingredients like avocados, almonds, or feta cheese for added texture and flavor. Simple vinaigrette made possibly flavourful with citrus or balsamic vinegar brightens a pop of color and unifies the mixture.

This dish is unique due to its versatility. It can quickly shift from an appetizer to a course with the proper use of accompaniments and serving sizes. That dinner captures the spirit of summer dining when you pair it with a cool glass of white wine or a cool iced tea. But that’s not all; the dish also boasts some really remarkable nutritional benefits. A healthy dinner concerning the balance in one’s diet would be inclusive of prawns, which are a good source of lean protein, and peaches, vitamins, and antioxidants. In terms of healthy eating without losing flavor, this makes it a sound choice.

Thus, prawns grilled and peach salad represent more than food-it is a retro summer experience that comes back again. This dish is unique, and through the use of vivid colors, a variety of textures, and savory flavors, you are going to impress your family and friends. Tasty when served at a picnic, on a backyard barbecue, or even as part of an elegant dinner party, this dish personifies the essence of seasonal fresh ingredients and enjoy the elation of a good meal. So, keep in mind with every mouthful, you celebrate summer’s bounty as you prepare to really enjoy this recipe.
