Ingredients

Scale

Chimichurri Sauce:

  • 1/2 cup Parsley (finely chopped)
  • 4 cloves Garlic (finely minced)
  • 1 Fresno pepper (seeded, finely minced)
  • 1 tsp Oregano (dried)
  • 1/2 cup Extra virgin olive oil
  • 3 tbsp Red wine vinegar
  • 1 tsp Salt
  • 1/2 tsp Fresh ground pepper

Shrimp:

  • 1 lb Shrimp (jumbo, peeled and deveined)
  • 3 tbsp Olive oil
  • 2 cloves Garlic (finely minced)
  • 2 tbsp Honey (mild in flavor, like Clover)
  • 1 tsp Smoked paprika
  • 1 tsp Salt
  • 1/2 tsp Fresh ground pepper

Instructions

  1. Chimichurri Sauce – With a sharp knife, finely chop parsley, garlic, and red chili pepper. Do not use a food processor. Place ingredients inside a medium-size bowl. Then, add oregano, salt, and pepper.
  2. To the herb mixture, add olive oil and red wine vinegar. Stir to combine. Allow the chimichurri to stand for at least 1 hour or longer, time permitting. This will allow all the flavors to meld together.
  3. Shrimp – Peel and devein shrimp. Add olive oil, garlic, honey, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Toss to coat shrimp. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for 20 minutes.
  4. Heat saucepan or grill pan over high heat. Once hot, add the marinated shrimp in a single layer. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side.
  5. Once the shrimp have finished cooking, transfer them to a serving dish. Spoon sauce over the shrimp, about 1/4 cup. Toss to coat the shrimp. Then, pour the remaining sauce in a ramekin or small bowl and serve on the side.
  6. Serve the shrimp inside tacos, on top of rice, or with grilled slices of bread.
