Method
 

Preparation
  1. Toss all ingredients together for the peach salad. Prepare the avocado, if using.
  2. Prep anything else you might serve this with (like rice).
  3. Toss the shrimp with the spices.
Cooking
  1. Heat a drizzle of avocado oil in a skillet over medium heat.
  2. Add the shrimp and cook until no longer translucent, about 2 minutes per side.
  3. Add a knob of butter and a drizzle of honey at the end of cooking to toss with the shrimp.
Serving
  1. Plate the shrimp over rice with a generous scoop of peach salad.
  2. Serve with wedges of lime and extra mint on the side.

Notes

Store peach salad and cooked shrimp separately. Serve shrimp over rice or in tortillas. Add cubed avocado just before serving to prevent browning.
