ingredients
- 1 red bell pepper
- 1 28-ounce can Muir Glen Fire Roasted Crushed Tomatoes
- 1/2 cup shallot, diced
- 1/4 cup almonds, sliced, plus more for serving
- 1 tablespoon paprika
- 1 tablespoon garlic, minced
- 2 teaspoons cayenne
- 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
- 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon ground coriander
- 2 tablespoons olive oil, plus more for serving
- 1 pound large shrimp
- fresh cilantro, for serving
- red pepper flakes, for serving
Method
Step 1
Roast the red pepper over a gas burner until completely charred. Place the pepper in a zip top bag and allow to steam for five minutes. Peel off the charred skin and discard the seeds.
Step 2
In a high-speed blender or food processor, add the Muir Glen Fire Roasted Crushed Tomatoes, bell pepper, shallot, almonds, and all of the spices. Blend until smooth.
Step 3
Heat olive oil in a medium skillet over medium-high heat. Working in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan, add shrimp, cooking for about 2-3 minutes on each side. Remove cooked shrimp to a plate before adding more shrimp. Return all shrimp to pan, add about 1 cup tomato sauce. Simmer for 2-3 minutes.
Step 4
Transfer to a plate and garnish with extra almonds, cilantro, and red pepper flakes. Finish with a light drizzle of olive oil and serve at once.
