Remove the tough stems from the kale and discard. Rub and massage the kale with your hands for 1-2 minutes or until the leaves are dark green and the kale is fragrant. Bunch the kale up tightly in one hand and slice it very thinly using a sharp knife. Transfer to a large bowl.
Add the red cabbage, white cabbage and carrots to the kale. Set aside.
In a blender, combine the ingredients for the peanut sauce and blend until smooth and creamy. Transfer to a serving bowl and set aside.
In a small bowl, combine the ingredients for the dressing and whisk together - add the vinaigrette a few tablespoons at a time to the salad and toss to combine. Use only enough of the dressing to lightly coat the leaves - you don't want it to be goopy. Reserve remaining dressing for another use.
Thread the shrimp onto skewers and preheat the grill (or a grill pan) to medium high heat. Lightly brush the shrimp with vegetable oil and cook for 1-2 minutes on one side, until they start to turn pink. Flip the shrimp and brush them with barbecue sauce. Cook for 1-2 minutes until the shrimp are cooked through and brush the other side with sauce.
To serve: Mound plates with salad, top with shrimp skewers and drizzle the peanut sauce over the top of shrimp and salad. Sprinkle with chopped peanuts and cilantro leaves. Serve.
Notes
You can also swap out chicken, pork or beef for the shrimp! Delish!
