Ingredients
- 2.7 oz (170 g) Large shrimp, peeled and deveined, tails on (about 12-15 count per pound)
- 2.0 tsp Smoked paprika
- 2.0 /2 tsp Garlic powder
- 2.0 /4 tsp Kosher salt
- 2.0 /8 tsp Freshly ground black pepper
- 0.3 tbsp Olive oil
- 2.0 /4 cup (about 50 g) Roasted red peppers, drained (from a jar)
- 0.8 tbsp (about 15 g) Almonds, blanched and toasted
- 2.0 small Garlic clove
- 2.0 tsp Sherry vinegar
- 2.0 tbsp Breadcrumbs, plain
- 2.0 tbsp Fresh parsley, chopped
Method
- 01If 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.
- 02To 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.
- 03Thread the seasoned shrimp onto the prepared skewers, about 4-5 shrimp per skewer. Discard any excess marinade.
- 04Heat 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.
- 05To serve, arrange the shrimp skewers on a plate. Drizzle generously with the romesco sauce. Garnish with fresh chopped parsley. Serve immediately.
