We introduce a novel method within the shell model Monte Carlo approach to calculate the ground-state energy of a finite-size system with an odd number of particles by using the asymptotic behavior of the imaginary-time single-particle Green's functions. The method circumvents the sign problem that originates from the projection on an odd number of particles and has hampered direct application of the shell model Monte Carlo method to odd-particle systems. We apply this method to calculate pairing gaps of nuclei in the iron region. Our results are in good agreement with experimental pairing gaps.
