I am a sauce person. I love a good sauce to put on my food and to dip my foods in. This spicy yogurt sauce came from a recipe I found for shrimp tacos here, but you can use it on what ever you like. In this house, we love making Copycat Freshii Bowls, so this is the main meal we use the sauce for. And like I said, I am a sauce person so I have doubled the recipe.
This sauce lasts as long as your yogurt is good for. So you can store it and use again and again! Ours doesn’t last very long though. If you have read some of my other recipe posts, you will know that I love my spicy foods. This sauce is spicy but sometimes I will even add some Sriracha to the recipe to make it even more spicy.
Besides coming together so quickly, the other thing I love about this recipe is that I almost always have these ingredients on hand. So anytime I have a craving for it, I’m probably not going to need to run to the store and get anything.
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup plain greek yogurt (we love the 11% one by Oikos)
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- the juice from one lime (about 1 tablespoon)
- 1 teaspoon each of cayenne pepper and ground coriander
- 1/2 teaspoon each of paprika, chili powder and garlic powder
- pinch of salt
Directions
- Mix everything together in a bowl with a whisk and store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 7-10 days (Depending on the expiration date of your yogurt!)
Helpful tips: We love to store our leftover sauce in a squeeze bottle for easy use, just give a little shake before using.
