Hector Sanchez; Styling: Buffy Hargett Miller

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 pounds large, peeled, and deveined raw shrimp

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt

  • 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

  • 1 Parchment paper

  • 1/4 (12-oz.) jar roasted red peppers, drained

  • 2 cup slivered almonds, toasted

  • 2 garlic cloves

  • 1 1/2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

  • 1 tablespoons red wine vinegar

  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

  • Garnishes: chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley, sliced chives

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 425°. Toss together shrimp and next 3 ingredients in a large bowl. Place shrimp in a single layer in a parchment paper-lined jelly-roll pan.

  2. Process roasted peppers and next 5 ingredients in a blender until smooth. Drizzle 1/2 cup sauce over shrimp.

  3. Roast at 425° for 10 minutes or until shrimp turn pink. Serve immediately with remaining sauce.

  4. ROASTING IS BEST FOR: Shrimp or large fillets of firm fish, such as snapper, cod, sea bass, and salmon. This is the best technique for whole, dressed fish.

  5. EXPERT ADVICE: Don't crowd the pan. Spread the shrimp or pieces of fish in a single layer to avoid soggy or tough results.
