Instructions

  • 1. Preheat grill to medium-high heat.

  • 4. In a small bowl, combine melted butter, ancho chili powder, and lime juice. Stir until well combined.
  • 5. Season shrimp with salt and pepper. Grill shrimp for 2-3 minutes per side, or until cooked through and slightly charred. Remove from grill and set aside.
  • 6. To serve, divide buttered basmati rice among plates. Top with sautéed spinach and grilled shrimp. Drizzle with ancho butter sauce.
  • 7. Enjoy!
