Ingredients

1 lb large shrimp in shell (21 to 25 per lb), peeled, leaving tail fan attached, and deveined

3 large shallots, finely chopped (1 cup)

6 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided

1 small leek (white and pale green parts only), finely chopped

1 garlic clove, minced

1 fresh serrano chile , seeded and finely chopped

1/4 teaspoon sweet paprika

1/8 teaspoon smoked paprika

1/8 teaspoon turmeric

1/2 teaspoon grated lemon zest

1/2 cup fresh lemon juice

2 teaspoons mild honey

2 tablespoons chopped flat-leaf parsley or cilantro

Directions

Cook shrimp in a large pot of boiling water until just cooked through, 1 to 2 minutes. Drain and cool.

Cook shallots in 2 tablespoons oil in a heavy medium skillet over medium-low heat, stirring frequently, until very tender, about 8 minutes.

Meanwhile, wash leek and pat dry.

Add leek, garlic, and chile to shallots and cook, stirring frequently, until softened, 4 to 5 minutes.

Add paprikas and turmeric and cook, stirring, 2 minutes.

Remove from heat and stir in lemon zest and juice, honey, parsley, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and remaining 1/4 cup oil.

Toss shrimp with sauce in a glass or ceramic bowl and marinate, covered and chilled, at least 8 hours.

Season with salt and serve in sauce.

*Note: Shrimp can be marinated up to 1 day.
