Ingredients

2 pounds shrimp (16/20), peeled and deveined, tails on
3 tablespoons olive oil

1 teaspoon kosher salt

In a food processor, process the toasted almonds until ground. Add the roasted red peppers, olive oil, vinegar, cayenne pepper, bread and garlic. Process until the mixture is smooth. Season the sauce with salt and pepper and transfer it to a serving bowl to serve alongside the grilled shrimp.
