  • **To roast the bell peppers and the Poblano chile under the broiler, preheat broiler. Halve and core the peppers. Remove the tops, ribs and seeds. Place the pepper halves on a baking sheet, cut-side down. Broil 5 to 7 minutes or until the skin has blistered and blackened over the entire surface. Transfer to a paper bag. Close bag.

Tips:

  • Choose the Right Shrimp: Opt for large shrimp (21-25 count per pound) with the shell on to retain their flavor during cooking.
  • Properly Devein the Shrimp: Use a sharp knife or kitchen shears to make a shallow cut along the back of the shrimp, removing the dark vein. Leave the tail intact for presentation.
  • Use Fresh Ingredients: Fresh garlic, red peppers, and smoked paprika add vibrant flavors to the dish. If using dried herbs or spices, adjust the quantity accordingly.
  • Marinate the Shrimp: Marinating the shrimp in a mixture of olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, and herbs enhances their taste. Allow them to marinate for at least 30 minutes, up to overnight.
  • Roast at High Temperature: Roasting the shrimp at a high temperature (400°F) for a short duration ensures they cook evenly and retain their tender texture.
  • Watch the Cooking Time: Overcooking can make the shrimp rubbery. Cook them until they turn pink and opaque, which usually takes 8-10 minutes.

Conclusion:

This Garlic Roasted Shrimp with Red Peppers and Smoked Paprika is a flavorful and easy-to-make dish perfect for a quick weeknight meal or a special occasion.
