Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Marinate the Shrimp

    In a bowl, combine the shrimp, minced garlic, olive oil, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Toss to coat and let marinate for at least 30 minutes.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Romesco Sauce

    In a food processor, combine the toasted almonds, red wine vinegar, and a pinch of salt. Blend until smooth, adding a bit more olive oil if necessary to reach desired consistency.

  3. 3

    Grill the Vegetables

    Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Grill the red bell pepper and onion slices for about 4-5 minutes on each side until they are tender and have grill marks.

  4. 4

    Grill the Shrimp

    Thread the marinated shrimp onto skewers. Grill for 2-3 minutes on each side until they are opaque and cooked through.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Arrange the grilled shrimp and vegetables on a serving platter. Drizzle with the romesco sauce and serve hot.
