1 tablespoon olive oil
1 pound medium shrimp, peeled and deveined, tails removed
Coarse salt and ground pepper
6 plum tomatoes, chopped (about 3 cups)
1/2 small red onion, chopped

2 tablespoons red-wine vinegar

Steps:

In a large nonstick skillet, heat oil over high heat, swirling to coat bottom of pan. Season shrimp with salt and pepper. Add half the shrimp; cook until browned on both sides and opaque in the center, 3 to 4 minutes. Transfer to a plate; repeat with remaining shrimp (reduce heat if browning too quickly).
In a food processor, combine tomatoes, onion, garlic, cucumber, and half the roasted peppers; process until combined. Add tomato juice and vinegar; process until smooth. Season with salt and pepper.
To serve, divide tomato mixture among bowls; top with shrimp and remaining roasted peppers.
