Ingredients
10 oz Shrimp (peeled & deveined)
½ cup Long Grain White Rice
1 each Zucchini
1 each Poblano Pepper
2 clove Garlic
¼ cup Panko Breadcrumbs
⅓ cup Tomatillo-Poblano Sauce
¼ cup Sour Cream
2 tbsp Mayonnaise
½ tbsp Mexican Spice Blend (Ancho Chile Powder, Smoked Paprika, Garlic Powder, Ground Cumin & Dried Mexican Oregano)
How to make it
1
Preheat the oven to 450°F. Rinse and drain the rice. Combine with half the spice blend, a big pinch of salt, and 1 cup water (2 cups for 4 servings) in a medium pot; stir. Bring to a boil, reduce to low, cover, and cook undisturbed 13-15 minutes until absorbed. Fluff and cover to keep warm.
2
Rinse and dry all produce. Large dice the zucchini. Peel and roughly chop 2 garlic cloves (4 for 4 servings). Stem the peppers, halve lengthwise, seed, and large dice. Wash hands immediately after. Spread the zucchini and peppers in a small baking dish (large for 4 servings). Drizzle with olive oil, season, and toss. Bake 9-11 minutes until slightly tender. Leave the oven on and remove.
3
In a bowl, combine the chopped garlic, breadcrumbs, mayonnaise, and 1 tablespoon olive oil; season and stir.
4
Pat the shrimp dry. Place in a bowl; drizzle with olive oil and season with salt, pepper, and the remaining spice blend. Toss to coat. Arrange in an even layer on top of the partially baked vegetables. Sprinkle the breadcrumb topping evenly over the top. Return to the oven and bake 9-11 minutes until the breadcrumbs are toasted and the shrimp are opaque and cooked through. Let stand 2 minutes.
5
In a bowl, combine the tomatillo sauce and sour cream; season. Serve the rice topped with the baked shrimp and vegetables. Drizzle with the sauce.
