Method

For the Grilled Shrimp

  1. 1

    Prepare the Marinade

    In a large bowl, mix together olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper. Add shrimp and toss to coat evenly.

  2. 2

    In a medium pot, combine white rice, water, and salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low. Cover and simmer for 15-20 minutes or until water is absorbed and rice is fluffy. Remove from heat and let sit covered for 5 minutes.

For the Creamy Amigo Dip

    Mix the Ingredients

    In a bowl, combine sour cream, mayonnaise, lime juice, chopped cilantro, minced garlic, and salt. Mix until smooth and creamy. Adjust salt to taste.

For the Pico de Gallo

    In a large bowl, combine diced tomatoes, red onion, jalapeno, lime juice, chopped cilantro, and salt. Mix well and adjust the seasoning as needed.

For the Jalapeno Cream Sauce

    Make the Jalapeno Cream Sauce

    In a blender, combine sour cream, diced jalapeno, lime juice, and salt. Blend until smooth. Adjust salt and jalapeno to taste.
