  1. Combine all of the ingredients for the Romesco sauce in a food processor or high speed blender and purée until mostly smooth. Pour into a serving bowl and set aside.
  2. Heat the grill to high. Place the shrimp on a rimmed sheet pan or large plate. Pat them dry with paper towels then drizzle with olive oil and season generously with kosher salt and fresh ground black pepper.
  3. Thread the shrimp onto skewers making sure the skewer goes through the tail and thick part of the shrimp. Oil the grill grates then place the shrimp skewers on horizontally. Grill until lightly golden brown and opaque, about 1 1/2 - 2 minutes per side. Remove from the grill and skewers and serve with the Romesco sauce.
