  4. Thread shrimp onto skewers. Preheat grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.
  5. Grill shrimp skewers 2–3 minutes per side until pink and slightly charred. Sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds.
  6. Serve shrimp skewers alongside collard-peach salad.

Notes

  • Swap peaches with nectarines, plums, or mangoes for variety.
  • For nut-free, use pumpkin seeds or sunflower seeds instead of peanuts.
  • Increase spiciness with sliced chili or red pepper flakes in the marinade.
  • Try chicken, scallops, or tofu in place of shrimp.
  • Kale or Swiss chard can replace collard greens.
  • Salad is best fresh but can be prepped 4 hours ahead; add peaches last to avoid sogginess.
