Time 35m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 ripe Roma tomatoes
1/2 large yellow onion, cut into three or four 1/2-inch rounds
1 lemon, halved
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for oiling the grill grates
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon honey
1 tablespoon prepared horseradish
Hot sauce, to taste
2 pounds large shrimp, peeled and deveined

Steps:

  • Prepare a grill or large grill pan for high heat.
  • Put the tomatoes, onion and lemon on a baking sheet. Brush with 1 tablespoon of oil and sprinkle liberally with salt and pepper. Lightly oil the grill grates.
  • Arrange the tomatoes and onion on the grill. Put the lemon halves cut-sides down on the grill. Cook until charred in spots, rotating the tomatoes and onion slices as needed to ensure even cooking, 6 to 8 minutes. Transfer the grilled vegetables and lemon to the same baking sheet that they were on before. Allow to cool 5 minutes. Leave the grill on high heat.
  • Combine the tomatoes and onions in a blender along with the juice of half of the grilled lemon, Worcestershire sauce, honey, horseradish, hot sauce and 1 tablespoon oil. Blend until smooth; the sauce should be the texture of tomato puree. Season with 1 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Pour into a small serving bowl and reserve.
  • Toss the shrimp with the remaining tablespoon oil and sprinkle liberally with salt and pepper. Grill until lightly charred in spots on both sides and just cooked through, 2 to 3 minutes total. Transfer the shrimp to a large platter and serve with the reserved grilled tomato cocktail sauce. Cut the remaining grilled lemon into wedges and serve on the side.

  • To prevent the shrimp from sticking to the grill, make sure the grill grates are well-oiled.

  • Do not overcrowd the grill. If you are cooking a lot of shrimp, cook them in batches.
  • Serve the shrimp immediately with the tamarind sauce. The sauce can be made ahead of time and refrigerated for up to 5 days.
