Spicy, grilled shrimp paired with a homemade peach salsa to create the perfect sweet and spicy combination. —Sarah | Wisconsin from Scratch
Test Kitchen Notes
WHO: Sarah | Wisconsin from Scratch's recipes are already Community Picks—and almost all of them are spicy.
WHAT: Spicy-sweet grilled shrimp dinner that practically makes itself.
HOW: Chop up a quick peachy salsa while shrimp hangs out in a citrusy, chile-spiked marinade. By the time you've skewered and grilled the shrimp, the salsa will be ready to top it off.
WHY WE LOVE IT: Love how this tasted. The heat from the shrimp paired well with the sweetness of the peaches. I will definitely make this again. I would even make the peach salsa on its own. Such a great summer dish. Tastes good cold, too. —Anna Francesca Gass —The Editors
Ingredients
- Shrimp
-
1/4 cup
fresh lime juice
-
2 tablespoons
sambal oelek (chile garlic paste)
-
2 tablespoons
Sriracha chile sauce
-
1 tablespoon
soy sauce
-
2 teaspoons
brown sugar
-
1 pound
shrimp, peeled and deveined
- Salsa
-
2
medium peaches, pitted and finely chopped

1 tablespoon
fresh lime juice

Pinch of salt
Directions
-
Heat your grill to medium heat.
-
Make the marinade for the shrimp by whisking together the lime juice, sambal oelek, sriracha, brown sugar, and soy sauce. Place shrimp in a bowl and pour 3/4 of the marinade over shrimp, tossing to make sure shrimp are well coated. Set remaining 1/4 of the marinade aside and let shrimp marinate while you prepare the salsa.
-
For the salsa, combine all of the salsa ingredients in a bowl and mix together. Let the salsa sit while you grill the shrimp.
-
Skewer the shrimp on metal or wooden skewers (if using wood, soak skewers in water first so they don’t burn), making sure to leave a little space between the shrimp.
-
Grill shrimp over medium heat until cooked through, brushing with the reserved 1/4 of the marinade throughout the grilling process.
-
Remove cooked shrimp from skewers, place on a plate, and serve topped with the peach salsa.
