  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon cumin
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 2 cups cooked brown rice
  • 1 cup corn kernels (fresh or frozen)

Instructions

  1. In a bowl, toss the shrimp with 1 tablespoon olive oil, chili powder, cumin, and 1/4 teaspoon salt.
  2. Heat a grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Grill the shrimp for 2-3 minutes per side until pink and cooked through. Set aside.

Notes

  • For meal prep, store the sauce separately and add it just before eating to keep the vegetables crisp.
  • You can substitute brown rice with quinoa or cauliflower rice for a lower carbohydrate option.
  • If you prefer a spicier sauce, add a dash of hot sauce to the yogurt mixture.
