Drizzle with oil; top with garlic, thyme and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Bake 2 1/2 hours, turning twice, until shriveled. Let cool. Pour off oil from pan and reserve (5 tablespoons). Reserve 3 garlic cloves, discarding remainder. In blender, process roasted tomatoes, reserved tomatoes, 3 tablespoons reserved oil and 3 reserved garlic cloves, until smooth. Pour into bowl; add remaining salt, the ketchup, horseradish, lime juice, jalapeņo and pepper. Cover; chill. (Can be made up to 3 days ahead.) Shrimp: Soak skewers in cold water for 1/2 hour. In bowl, mix shrimp, 2 tablespoons reserved oil, the thyme, salt and pepper. Thread shrimp on skewers. Heat ridged grill pan over medium-high heat. Grill shrimp 2 to 3 minutes per side, until cooked. Remove from skewers. Serve warm, at room temperature or slightly chilled, on lettuce with sauce. |
