Sriracha Shrimp Skewers with Collard-Peach Salad
Burgers and hot dogs are fine, but let’s face it, they’re kind of a snooze-fest. Say hello to these easy sriracha shrimp skewers with collard-peach salad, courtesy of Nashville-based Peach Truck owners Jessica and Stephen Rose and their new release, The Peach Truck Cookbook. They’re spicy, sweet and fabulous for a summer dinner under the stars.
“We love cooking with skewers year-round—on the grill during the warmer months; under the broiler in fall and winter,” the authors write. “It’s a great way to combine flavors and balance protein with vegetables and, as an added bonus, it also makes for a gorgeous presentation. Whenever we get our hands on fresh shrimp at the height of summer, this is what we make. If you have a love affair with sriracha, you’ll go crazy for this recipe, with its garlicky and ginger notes that pair nicely with the Asian-inspired green salad. Massaging the collards helps break down the fibers so they’ll be tender and easier to enjoy raw.”
A quick tip when you’re cooking with skewers: If you’re using wooden ones, be sure to soak them in water for about 30 minutes before grilling so they don’t catch fire. And if you’re using metal skewers, wear a heat-safe mitt to protect your fingers.
So, should we have guests for dinner or keep these all to ourselves?

4 servings
Collard-Peach Salad
One 12-ounce bunch collard greens, destemmed and thinly sliced
2 cups thinly sliced red cabbage (about ¼ head)
2 teaspoons kosher salt
2 tablespoons sugar
2 cups matchstick-cut carrots (about 4 medium)
2 cups thinly sliced peaches (about 2 medium)
½ cup dry-roasted peanuts, chopped
½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
¼ cup peach vinegar (or white balsamic vinegar)
3 tablespoons vegetable oil
Shrimp Skewers
¼ cup vegetable oil
¼ cup sriracha
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger
3 tablespoons fresh lime juice (from about 2 limes)
24 large shrimp (1 pound), peeled and deveined
2 tablespoons sesame seeds, toasted
1. Make the Salad: Combine the collards, cabbage, salt and sugar in a large bowl. Massage with your hands to tenderize the greens, about 1 minute. Let stand for 30 minutes, then drain any liquid that has collected in the bowl.
2. Add the carrots, peaches, peanuts, pepper, vinegar and vegetable oil; toss to combine.
3. Make the Salad: Heat a grill to medium (400°F) or heat a grill pan over medium-high heat. In a large bowl, whisk together the vegetable oil, sriracha, garlic, ginger and lime juice.
4. Add the shrimp and toss to coat. Drain the skewers (if soaking wooden ones) and thread 6 shrimp onto each one, making 4 skewers total.
5. Grill the shrimp until pink and no longer translucent, about 2 to 3 minutes per side. Sprinkle the shrimp with the sesame seeds and serve alongside the salad.
