Zesty Romesco is a favorite condiment in Spanish cuisine, but remains relatively unknown here. (Go figure.) Make the sauce in advance, whenever it's convenient, and grill the shellfish just before serving. While the grill is still hot, toast some thick slices of good artisan bread to drizzle with extra virgin olive oil. Fast food never tasted so good!

Serve with some grilled vegetables - you can use the dressing on them too if you want - and you have a complete, easy summer meal.
