Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb Shrimp (peeled and deveined)
- 2 tbsp Olive oil
- 1 tsp Chipotle powder
- 1 tsp Paprika
- 1 tsp Garlic powder
- 1 tsp Onion powder
- 0.5 tsp Ground cumin
- 0.5 tsp Salt
- 0.25 tsp Black pepper
- 0.5 cup Plain Greek yogurt
- 0.25 cup Fresh cilantro (chopped)
- 1 tbsp Fresh lime juice
- 1 tsp Honey
- 1 clove Garlic (minced)
Instructions
Rinse and pat dry the shrimp. Place them in a large mixing bowl.
In a small bowl, combine the chipotle powder, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, ground cumin, salt, and black pepper.
Drizzle the shrimp with olive oil and toss to coat. Then, sprinkle the dry rub mixture evenly over the shrimp and toss until well coated. Set aside for 5 minutes to allow the flavors to marinate.
Preheat a skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat. Once hot, arrange the shrimp in a single layer. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until the shrimp are opaque and cooked through. Remove from heat and set aside.
To make the cilantro dipping sauce, combine the plain Greek yogurt, chopped cilantro, lime juice, honey, and minced garlic in a small bowl. Stir until well blended. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.
Serve the chipotle dry rub shrimp warm alongside the cilantro dipping sauce. Garnish with additional cilantro or lime wedges, if desired.
