Steps:
- In a small sauce pan, combine the peaches and white wine. Bring to a simmer, cover and cook until the peaches are soft, about 10 minutes. Uncover and cook an additional 10 minutes to reduce slightly. Turn off the heat and stir in the honey, horseradish and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Using an immersion blender (or back of a fork) puree or mash the fruit slightly to create a sauce. Cool to room temperature or chill completely for later use (see Cook's Note).
- Preheat a grill pan over medium-high heat.
- Toss the shrimp with the olive oil and remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt. Place on the hot grill and grill until pink and opaque all the way through, about 3 minutes per side. Finish with a squeeze of lemon juice. Remove to a tray and serve alongside peach cocktail sauce.
SIMPLEST GRILLED SHRIMP
Here is the easiest way to grill shrimp. It can be done on a gas or charcoal grill, with skewers or a grill basket or without. Whichever method you use, remember that shrimp cook quickly, particularly when they're peeled. Larger shrimp are better for the grill.

Steps:
- Build a medium-high fire in a charcoal or gas grill, making sure that the grate is clean and clear of debris. (Shrimp will stick to a dirty grate.)
- If you like, thread the shrimp onto skewers. Season the shrimp with salt and pepper. Rub them lightly with olive oil, and place the shrimp on the grill directly over the heat. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes, until lightly golden.
- Flip the skewers and cook for another 2 to 3 minutes. Take care not to overcook. Remove to a plate. A squeeze of lemon over the shrimp might be nice.

ROASTED SPICED SHRIMP ON WILTED SPINACH
Steps:
- Preheat oven to 450°F. Leaving shells intact, pull legs off shrimp and with a sharp knife halve shrimp lengthwise. Arrange shrimp, shell sides down, in one layer in a shallow baking pan. In a small bowl stir together chili powder and salt and sprinkle evenly over shrimp. Shrimp may be prepared up to this point 3 hours ahead and chilled, covered.
- Discard stems from spinach and diagonally cut scallions into 1/4-inch-thick slices. Drizzle shrimp with lime juice and roast in middle of oven until just cooked through, about 5 minutes.
- In a large nonstick skillet bring water with gingerroot to a simmer over moderate heat and add spinach. Cook spinach, stirring, until slightly wilted, about 20 seconds. Remove skillet from heat and immediately stir in scallions and oil until combined well. Season spinach with salt and pepper.
- Mound spinach in center of each of 4 plates and arrange shrimp halves around it. Serve shrimp and spinach with lime wedges.
Tips:
- Choosing the Right Shrimp: Opt for large or jumbo shrimp with their shells removed and deveined. Avoid any shrimp that has an unpleasant odor or discoloration.
- Marinating the Shrimp: Marinate the shrimp in olive oil, lemon juice, thyme, rosemary, and salt for at least 15 minutes to infuse flavor. This step also helps prevent the shrimp from drying out during grilling.
- Grilling the Shrimp: Heat your grill to medium-high heat and cook the shrimp for 2-3 minutes per side, or until they are opaque and slightly charred. Avoid overcooking, as it will toughen the shrimp.
- Preparing the Wilted Spinach: To achieve perfectly wilted spinach, heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat, add garlic and cook until fragrant, then add baby spinach and cook until just wilted, about 2 minutes.
- Searing the Peaches: Cut the peaches into wedges and sear them in a skillet with butter, brown sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg until caramelized. This step adds a sweet and smoky flavor to the dish.
Conclusion:
This Grilled Shrimp with Wilted Spinach and Peaches recipe is a delightful combination of flavors and textures.
