Ingredients

2 garlic cloves
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/8 teaspoon crumbled saffron threads

2 teaspoons red wine vinegar
1/2 cup mayonnaise
24 uncooked large shrimp, peeled, deveined

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Preheat oven to 425°F. Finely chop garlic cloves with cayenne pepper and saffron in mini processor. Add roasted red pepper and vinegar to processor; blend until almost smooth. Blend in mayonnaise. Season rouille to taste with salt and pepper.
