My mother brought me peach salsa from Georgia, inspiring this recipe for shrimp pitas. Get awesome texture with edamame, or swap in some baby lima beans. —Angela McClure, Cary, North Carolina

    My family really enjoyed these pitas. They had just the right amount of sweetness to them. I will be making them again.
