A delightful shrimp dish with a tangy tomato dip, perfect for any occasion.
Prepare the brine by mixing water, salt, sugar, lemon slices, peppercorns, garlic, red pepper flakes, parsley, and coriander in a bowl until the salt and sugar dissolve.
Ensure the salt and sugar are fully dissolved for an effective brine.
Add the shrimp to the brine and refrigerate for 20 minutes.
Do not exceed the brining time to avoid overly salty shrimp.
Blend the tomatoes, chili sauce, sugar, pepper, salt, and olive oil in a food processor until smooth. Refrigerate the dip.
Chill the dip for a refreshing contrast to the warm shrimp.
Preheat the broiler and place a foil-lined baking sheet on the broiler pan.
Preheating ensures even cooking.
Drain and rinse the shrimp, then pat them dry with paper towels.
Dry shrimp thoroughly to achieve a good sear.
Toss the shrimp with olive oil and arrange them on the preheated baking sheet.
Use a mister for even oil distribution.
Broil the shrimp for 2 minutes, then turn them and broil for another minute.
Watch closely to avoid overcooking.
Transfer the shrimp to a cool bowl and refrigerate or serve immediately with the dip.
Serve chilled for a refreshing appetizer or warm for a comforting dish.
