Preparation of Spicy Herb Mixture

1. In a food processor, combine ¼ cup of olive oil, fresh cilantro, parsley, lemon zest, lemon juice, blanched almonds, garlic, red chiles, cumin, kosher salt, and freshly ground black pepper. Pulse until the ingredients form a uniform mixture that is close to a paste consistency. If the mixture seems too dry, add a little more olive oil.

Cooking the Shrimp
