Tex-Mex seasoned shrimp with homemade smoky grilled salsa for dipping. I serve this as a main dish but it would make a great appetizer as well.

Time 35m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 12

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
1 teaspoon salt
¼ cup chopped fresh cilantro

Steps:

  • 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.
  • Cut tops off the tomatoes and discard. Cut jalapeno in half, scrape the skin off, and discard seeds. Quarter the onion. Squeeze garlic cloves from their skins.
  • 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.
