Ingredients
Scale
- 12 ounces raw jumbo shrimp 16-20 per pound, peeled and deveined, tails on or off
- ½ teaspoon smoked paprika
- ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
- 2 teaspoons olive oil
- 1 cup diced red bell pepper about 1 medium
- ½ cup black beans rinsed and drained
- kosher salt and ground black pepper
- ⅔ cup cooked quinoa
- 2 cups shredded or chopped romaine lettuce
- ¼ cup chopped green onion about 2 small
- 6 tablespoons plain nonfat greek yogurt
- 1 tablespoon bbq sauce
- 2 teaspoons fresh lime juice or milk
- water or milk to thin if needed
Instructions
- Pat the shrimp dry and mix in a bowl with smoked paprika, garlic powder, ¼ teaspoon salt, and ¼ teaspoon pepper.
- In a large nonstick skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat and add the bell pepper. Cook for 2 minutes, then mix in the black beans, seasoning with a pinch of salt and pepper. Cook for an additional 1 to 2 minutes until the beans are warmed and the peppers are crisp-tender.
- Move the veggies aside in the skillet and add the shrimp. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes on one side, then flip and cook for about 1 minute more until the shrimp are opaque and curled into a tight ‘C’ shape.
- For the sauce, combine Greek yogurt, BBQ sauce, and lime juice in a small bowl, thinning it with a splash of water if needed.
- To assemble, divide the quinoa and romaine between two bowls, top with shrimp, sautéed veggies, and beans. Finish with a drizzle of BBQ yogurt sauce and sprinkle with green onions.
