Smoky Grilled Tomato Cocktail Sauce Recipes

GRILLED SHRIMP WITH GRILLED TOMATO COCKTAIL SAUCE

Steps:

• Prepare a grill or large grill pan for high heat.
• Put the tomatoes, onion and lemon on a baking sheet. Brush with 1 tablespoon of oil and sprinkle liberally with salt and pepper. Lightly oil the grill grates.
• Arrange the tomatoes and onion on the grill. Put the lemon halves cut-sides down on the grill. Cook until charred in spots, rotating the tomatoes and onion slices as needed to ensure even cooking, 6 to 8 minutes. Transfer the grilled vegetables and lemon to the same baking sheet that they were on before. Allow to cool 5 minutes. Leave the grill on high heat.
• Combine the tomatoes and onions in a blender along with the juice of half of the grilled lemon, Worcestershire sauce, honey, horseradish, hot sauce and 1 tablespoon oil. Blend until smooth; the sauce should be the texture of tomato puree. Season with 1 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Pour into a small serving bowl and reserve.
• Toss the shrimp with the remaining tablespoon oil and sprinkle liberally with salt and pepper. Grill until lightly charred in spots on both sides and just cooked through, 2 to 3 minutes total. Transfer the shrimp to a large platter and serve with the reserved grilled tomato cocktail sauce. Cut the remaining grilled lemon into wedges and serve on the side.
