Cook time: 5 min
Total time: 25 min
Yield: 2
Ingredients: Spicy Shrimp:; 1 lb. shrimp; 1 teaspoon smoked paprika; 1 teaspoon curry powder; 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder; 1/2 teaspoon coarse sea salt (start here, add more as necessary); 1/8 to 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (add to taste – it’ll make it spicy!); 1 tablespoon butter; a drizzle of honey (to taste – 1 tsp to 1 tablespoon); Peach Salad:; 2 peaches, pitted and sliced (about 2 cups); half an English cucumber, thinly sliced (about 1 cup); half a shallot, thinly sliced (about 1/4 cup); 2–3 teaspoons olive oil; 1 lime, juiced and zested (about 1 tablespoon juice, 1 teaspoon zest); salt and pepper to taste; mint leaves (about 2 packed tablespoons); 2–3 teaspoons honey to finish (I like hot honey!); 1 avocado, cubed (optional)

When I make this for my family, I wait to add the cayenne until after I pull a few shrimp out of the pan for my daughters! Then once they have a few non-spicy ones, I’ll add the cayenne for my husband and myself. 🙂 The spicy with the sweet is so yummy!

This serves me, my husband, and our two young kids who each only eat a few pieces of shrimp. If you’re serving 4 adults, I would double the shrimp amounts (increase to 2lbs of shrimp and scale spices up).

I personally like to remove the tails before cooking just so that when I’m eating I don’t have to mess with the tails. I thaw the frozen shrimp and then remove the tails before tossing with the spices. But you can do it either way!
