• 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

  1. In a large bowl, toss the uncooked shrimp with the spicy herb mixture.
  2. In a medium saucepan, heat the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add the marinated shrimp and cook until they turn just pink, which usually takes about 3-5 minutes.

• Serving Suggestions

  1. Serve the delectable shrimp over a bed of rice, tabbouleh, fresh greens, or any other accompaniments of your choice.
