2 cups red cabbage, thinly sliced (about ¼ head)
2 teaspoons kosher salt
2 tablespoons sugar
2 cups carrots, cut into matchsticks (about 4 medium)
2 cups peaches, thinly sliced (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 sriracha
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
3 tablespoons fresh lime juice (about 2 limes)
24 large shrimp (about 1 pound), peeled and deveined
2 tablespoons sesame seeds, toasted
Instructions
- In a large bowl, toss collard greens and red cabbage with salt and sugar. Massage gently until slightly softened, then let sit for 10 minutes.
- Add carrots, peaches, peanuts, and black pepper. In a small bowl, whisk vinegar and vegetable oil, then pour over salad and toss. Set aside.
- In another bowl, whisk vegetable oil, sriracha, garlic, ginger, and lime juice. Add shrimp, toss to coat, cover, and marinate in the refrigerator for 20 minutes.
- Thread shrimp onto skewers. Preheat grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.
- Grill shrimp skewers 2–3 minutes per side until pink and slightly charred. Sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds.
- 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.
