jalapeño

🥗Healthier: bell pepper

💰Cheaper: green chili

Bell pepper offers a milder flavor while reducing heat.

olive oil

🥗Healthier: avocado oil

💰Cheaper: canola oil

Canola oil is often less expensive and has a neutral flavor.

Roast a whole head of garlic for 10-15 minutes until sweet and soft.

Chop up one heaping cup of fresh cilantro, keeping some tender stems for flavor.

In a bowl, combine the chopped cilantro, juice of one large lime, and one tablespoon of dry white wine.

Add two tablespoons of harissa paste to the bowl.

Squeeze in the roasted garlic from the head and mix the sauce together, adding more olive oil if needed.

Turn on the heat on the griddle to medium-high.

Toss the shrimp with a tiny bit of olive oil, kosher salt, and black pepper.

Once the griddle is ready, add the shrimp and cook until they turn pink and opaque, flipping them to ensure even cooking.

As soon as the shrimp are cooked, dunk them into the sauce to absorb the flavors immediately.

Toss the shrimp in the sauce until they are well coated and serve with pita wedges or over pasta or grains.
