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)

Directions

Step 1

Rinse and pat dry the shrimp. Place them in a large mixing bowl.

Step 2

In a small bowl, combine the chipotle powder, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, ground cumin, salt, and black pepper.

Step 3

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.

Step 4

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.

Step 5

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.

Step 6

Serve the chipotle dry rub shrimp warm alongside the cilantro dipping sauce. Garnish with additional cilantro or lime wedges, if desired.
