Oven-Roasted Prawns With Romesco Sauce

Recipe Ingredients

3		Tomatoes - halved
10		Garlic cloves
2		Crusty bread
1/2 cup	46g / 1.6oz	Whole almonds - with skin
1/2 cup	118ml	Hazelnuts or pine nuts
1		Pimento or roasted red pepper
1/2 cup	118ml	Red wine vinegar
3/4 cup	177ml	Olive oil
1 teaspoon	5ml	Paprika
2 teaspoons	10ml	Kosher salt
3 tablespoons	45ml	Olive oil
2 lbs	908g / 32oz	Prawns - shelled, tails
		Removed, heads left on

Recipe Instructions

Preheat oven to 450 degrees.

Arrange the tomatoes, garlic, bread, and nuts on a baking sheet; roast for 10 to 15 minutes.

Transfer to a food processor and pulse to roughly break up. Add the pimentos, vinegar, oil, and paprika. Pulse again until well combined, add salt. This sauce is best if allowed to rest so the flavors can meld (may be made a day in advance).

Heat oil to almost smoking in a large skillet or roasting pan. Toss the prawns in half the romesco sauce to coat, and pan sear the shrimp quickly in the oil just until barely opaque. Then roast for 10 to 12 minutes in a 450 degree oven. Serve the remaining sauce on the side for dipping.

This recipe yields 8 servings.
