4 servings

  • 1 pound raw jumbo shrimp, peeled, tails left on
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • ½ teaspoon paprika
  • ½ teaspoon chili powder
  • ¼ teaspoon ground cumin
  • 4 Roma tomatoes
  • ½ large onion
  • ½ head head garlic
  • 1 jalapeno pepper
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice

Instructions

  • Combine shrimp, olive oil, paprika, chili powder, and cumin in a large bowl. Gently stir until evenly combined. Cover and refrigerate while you prepare the salsa.
  • Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate. Grill tomatoes, onion, garlic, and jalapeno for 4 minutes. Flip and grill until tomatoes and jalapenos are blistered, about 4 minutes more.

  • Place the grilled vegetables in a blender. Add lime juice and salt; blend until smooth. Add cilantro and pulse until evenly blended.
  • Transfer shrimp to the hot grill and cook for 2 minutes per side. Serve with the salsa.
