tip

Alternatively, shrimp can be sautéed or steamed, or you can purchase cooked shrimp. Sriracha sauce is a generic name for a hot sauce from Thailand. It can found in the Asian condiment aisle at your local grocery store.

Vinaigrette:

In a small bowl, combine zest and juice of one lime, olive oil, honey, ginger, sesame oil, Sriracha and salt. Mix well and set aside.

Salad:

Preheat barbecue to medium-high. Grill the shrimp about six to eight minutes, turning once, until cooked through. Place on a clean plate and let cool. In a large bowl, combine cooked cooled shrimp, peaches, green onions, avocado, mango, cilantro, sesame seeds and pepper. Pour vinaigrette over salad; toss well. Cover and refrigerate for at least 10 minutes before serving.
