Preparation
- Finely chop a generous amount of parsley, several cloves of garlic, and a Fresno pepper by hand—this will ensure a delightful texture in your chimichurri.
- In a mixing bowl, combine these ingredients with dried oregano, salt, and freshly ground pepper. Pour in a good drizzle of extra virgin olive oil and a splash of red wine vinegar, mixing well.
- Let it sit for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld beautifully.
- While the chimichurri sits, peel and devein about a pound of jumbo shrimp until they're clean and ready to shine.
- Toss the shrimp in a bowl with olive oil, minced garlic, honey, smoked paprika, and a sprinkle of salt and pepper. Cover the bowl tightly and refrigerate the shrimp, allowing them to marinate for 20 minutes to infuse them with flavor before cooking.
- Once the shrimp are marinated, place a large skillet over high heat and let it warm for a couple of minutes until it's sizzling hot.
- Carefully add the marinated shrimp to the hot pan in a single layer for even cooking. Let them sear undisturbed for 2-3 minutes until they turn opaque and develop a slight char.
- Gently flip the shrimp and cook for another 2-3 minutes, keeping an eye out for that lovely roasted look. Once cooked through, remove the shrimp from the heat.
- Transfer the succulent shrimp to a serving dish and generously coat them with your freshly prepared chimichurri sauce. Serve any remaining chimichurri on the side for guests to add more as they enjoy.
