Cooking Steps
Before the shrimp are threaded onto the skewers, they're tossed in a spice mixture of smoked paprika, chili powder, cumin, garlic powder and cayenne along with some honey, lime zest and juice. The corn, peaches and bread (which is optional) are brushed with vegetable oil and seasoned with salt and pepper. Now you can head to the grill!
The corn takes fifteen minutes at most and you can get the shrimp going at the same time. They take just one and a half to two minutes a side. When grilling the peaches, place the halves cut side down and grill just the one side for about three minutes so they don't get too soft. If you decide on grilling the bread, I found three minutes a side led to a Goldilocks result of perfectly crisp on the outside and still soft inside.
Assembling
Now that you have all that deliciously charred shrimp, peaches, corn and bread, grab either a large serving platter or individual plates. Slice the peaches and cut the corn off the cobs once they're cool enough to handle.
To assemble, lay down a bed of your favorite greens and arrange the shrimp, peaches, creamy burrata, cherry tomatoes and sprinkle with corn and torn basil. You can simply drizzle on some olive oil and a squeeze of lime like my husband did, or go my route and splatter on a little Green Goddess Dressing. Either way you can't go wrong. Hope you enjoy! xx, Kim

📋 Recipe
Grilled Shrimp and Peach Salad with Burrata and Basil
Ingredients
- 2 pounds large shrimp (21-25 count), peeled, deveined, tails left intact
- 1 tablespoon olive oil , plus extra for serving
- 1 teaspoon each chili powder , smoked paprika, cumin and garlic powder
- ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 2 teaspoons honey or agave
- 1 lime , zest and juice, plus extra wedges for serving
- 2 large peaches , ripe but still firm, halved and pits removed
- 2-3 ears of corn , husked
- 4 thick slices of bread (optional)
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 5 ounces mixed baby greens
- 4 ounces heirloom cherry tomatoes , halved
- 4 ounces burrata
- Fresh basil
- Kosher salt and pepper
- Green Goddess Dressing
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine the shrimp with the olive oil, chili powder, paprika, cumin, garlic powder, cayenne, honey, lime zest and juice. Season with kosher salt and pepper. Toss gently to coat evenly.
- Thread shrimp onto metal or bamboo skewers that have soaked in water at least 30 minutes. Set aside.
- Preheat grill or large cast iron skillet over medium-high heat.
- Place peach halves, corn and bread slices on a large, parchment-lined, rimmed baking sheet.
- Brush vegetable oil all over peaches, corn and bread. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
- Grill corn 12-15 minutes total, moving to different sides every few minutes.
- Where there’s room, start grilling shrimp skewers, 2 minutes per side until just opaque in the center. You may have to grill them in batches depending on the size of your grill.
- Place peach halves cut side down on grates and grill 3-4 minutes until slightly charred and softened.
- Grill bread about 3 minutes per side.
- When cool enough to handle, cut corn kernels from cobs, slice each peach half into fourths, and slide shrimp from skewers.
- To assemble salad, either in a large serving bowl or on individual plates, arrange mixed greens with shrimp, peaches, corn, cherry tomatoes, burrata and basil.
- Serve with grilled bread, drizzle of olive oil and squeeze of lime, or Green Goddess Dressing. Enjoy!
Notes
- Don't use overly ripe peaches on the grill. They will become too soft.
- Grill peaches on just the cut side so they stay firm.
