- If you don't have a grill, you can roast the peaches and mangoes in a hot oven instead.
- Be sure to marinate the shrimp for at least 30 minutes before cooking. This will help to infuse them with flavor.
- Use a large skillet to cook the shrimp. This will help to prevent them from overcrowding and becoming tough.
- Cook the shrimp until they are just opaque in the center. Overcooking will make them tough.
- Serve the shrimp immediately with the grilled peach and mango salad.
