Instructions

  1. Step 1: In a blender, combine 1 cup roasted red peppers, 1 tsp smoked paprika, 2 tbsp lemon juice, 1 tsp salt, and 1/2 tsp black pepper. Blend until smooth and set aside.

  4. Step 4: Pour the roasted red pepper sauce over the shrimp and stir gently to coat for 1 minute until heated through.
  5. Step 5: Remove from heat, sprinkle 2 tbsp fresh chopped parsley over the shrimp, and serve immediately with warm crusty bread or rice.
