    How to Make Grilled Tomato and Green Cayenne Salsa

    1. Preheat Grill or Skillet

    Start by preheating your grill or skillet until it's hot and ready. This step is crucial to achieve that smoky flavor that will elevate your salsa.

    2. Grill the Vegetables

    While the grill is heating up, gather your green cayenne chiles, tomatoes, and shallots. Place them all directly on the grill or skillet. Let them cook until they are touched with blackened spots and very soft.

    3. Peel and Chop Vegetables

    Once your vegetables are grilled to perfection, carefully peel the skins off the tomatoes and shallots. Then, trim the stems and discard any seeds from the chiles. Take your knife and give all the vegetables a rough chop.

    4. Blend the Salsa

    Now, place the chopped vegetables into your food processor. Add the dried shrimp powder and salt. Pulse the mixture several times until you achieve a chunky consistency. Be careful not to over-process; you want some texture to remain in your salsa.

    5. Adjust Seasoning and Serve

    Taste the salsa and adjust the salt if necessary. You can serve this delicious salsa warm or at room temperature. If you have any leftovers, they will keep well refrigerated.
