This Catalan-inspired dish features jumbo prawns charred to perfection and served atop a robust, smoky sauce made from roasted red peppers and toasted almonds. It brings the vibrant flavors of Spain to your table with minimal fuss, perfect for a tapas night or light dinner.
In a food processor, combine the roasted red peppers, toasted almonds, garlic cloves, sherry vinegar, and smoked paprika.
Pulse the mixture while slowly drizzling in 1/4 cup of the olive oil until a thick, textured sauce forms. Season generously with salt and pepper to taste, then set aside at room temperature.
In a large mixing bowl, toss the prawns with the remaining 1/4 cup of olive oil, a pinch of salt, and a dash of black pepper to coat them evenly.
Preheat a grill pan or heavy cast-iron skillet over high heat until very hot.
Place the prawns in the hot pan in a single layer. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side until they are pink, opaque, and develop nice char marks.
Spread a generous layer of the Romesco sauce onto a serving platter.
Arrange the hot grilled prawns on top of the sauce and garnish with the chopped fresh parsley before serving.
