Steps:
- In a large nonstick skillet, heat oil over high heat, swirling to coat bottom of pan. Season shrimp with salt and pepper. Add shrimp and cook on both sides (may have to do it in batches).
- In a food processor, combine tomatoes, onion, garlic, cucumber and 1/2 the roasted peppers (here's where I also added crushed red chili flakes -- approx 1 tsp -- we like it spicy!) Process until well combined. Add tomato juice and vinegar; process until smooth. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- To serve divide tomato mixture in bowls and top with shrimp and remaining roasted peppers. I also garnished with herbs from the garden, I used cilantro and a few garlic chives.
- Recipe is suppose to serve 4 -- maybe as a first course, but it served 2 large appetites as a main course tonight!

Tips:
- Choose fresh and succulent shrimp: Opt for shrimp that are firm, plump, and have a slightly translucent appearance. Avoid shrimp that are discoloured or have a slimy texture.
- Properly devein and clean the shrimp: Deveining the shrimp removes the digestive tract, resulting in a cleaner and more enjoyable eating experience. Rinse the shrimp thoroughly under cold water to remove any impurities or sand.
- Use high-quality olive oil: Extra virgin olive oil is the preferred choice for this recipe, as it imparts a rich and flavorful taste. Choose an olive oil that is fresh and has a fruity aroma.
- Grill the shrimp over medium-high heat: This will ensure that the shrimp cook quickly and evenly, preventing them from becoming overcooked and rubbery.
- Make the honeydew gazpacho in advance: This chilled soup can be prepared several hours or even a day ahead of time, allowing the flavors to meld and develop. Serve the gazpacho well-chilled for a refreshing contrast to the grilled shrimp.
- Garnish with fresh herbs and citrus zest: Chopped cilantro, parsley, or basil add a vibrant pop of color and freshness to the dish. A squeeze of lime or lemon zest enhances the flavors and brightens the overall presentation.
Conclusion:
This fiery grilled shrimp with honeydew gazpacho recipe offers a tantalizing fusion of flavors and textures.
