Directions
Prepare a hot grill.
Place the shrimp in a bowl, season with the Hatch powder and sea salt. Add the juice of 1 of the limes and mix well. Spray the hot grill with non-stick cooking spray or brush with olive oil. Grill the shrimp until you get nice marks on both sides and the shrimp turns opaque in color, about 2 minutes per side. Remove from the grill and set aside.
In a bowl, add the melon, tomatoes, Enjoya Peppers, onion, celery, cucumbers, Serrano Chile, garlic, cumin, oregano, tomato juice, balsamic vinegar, olive oil and Worcestershire. Season with salt and pepper. Add the juice from the other limes and briefly blend. Chill the gazpacho for at least 30 minutes.
To serve, place the gazpacho into 6-8 soup bowls and hang 2 or 3 shrimp on the edge of each bowl.
