Garlic clove2.0 small

Instructions

1

If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning. Pat the shrimp very dry with paper towels. In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, smoked paprika, garlic powder, kosher salt, and black pepper. Add the shrimp and toss to coat evenly.

2

To make the romesco drizzle: In a small food processor or blender, combine the drained roasted red peppers, toasted almonds, garlic clove, sherry vinegar, and breadcrumbs. Pulse until a coarse paste forms. With the processor running, slowly drizzle in 1 tablespoon of water (or more, as needed) until the mixture is smooth and drizzle-able. Season with a pinch more salt if desired.

3

Thread the seasoned shrimp onto the prepared skewers, about 4-5 shrimp per skewer. Discard any excess marinade.

4

Heat a grill pan or outdoor grill to medium-high heat (about 400°F / 200°C). Grill the shrimp skewers for 2-3 minutes per side, until they are pink, opaque, and slightly charred. The shrimp should feel firm to the touch and curl slightly.

5

To serve, arrange the shrimp skewers on a plate. Drizzle generously with the romesco sauce. Garnish with fresh chopped parsley. Serve immediately.
