I received free samples of Sabra hummus mentioned in this post. By posting this recipe I am entering a recipe contest sponsored by Sabra and am eligible to win prizes associated with the contest. I was not compensated for my time.

Who else is a hummus super fan? I officially declare myself addicted to Sabra hummus because it’s a delicious plant-based protein, and the dozen-plus available flavors keep me from ever getting bored. Those who know me can confirm I’m all about protein and including more plant-based proteins is not only a goal of mine but something I recommend to all of my clients.

Hummus isn’t just only for dipping!

While I always have a tub or two of hummus in the fridge for dipping veggies, I frequently use it as a sandwich spread, a topping for baked chicken or fish or a base for salad dressing.

When I received samples of 5 different Sabra hummus flavors, it was a tough decision to choose which flavor to feature in a recipe. Then the idea hit me! Jalapeno Hummus Crusted Shrimp 🙂 Spicy foods are some of my favorites because:
– I love the flavor
– Spicy foods can boost metabolism (a little)
– They slow you down! Honestly, how quickly can you guzzle jalapenos?

I love simple recipes because as a working mom, I don’t have a ton of time to slave away in the kitchen. In this Jalapeno Hummus Crusted Shrimp, the Sabra Jalapeno Hummus makes a marinade and salad dressing in one easy, 3 ingredient combo. This entrée salad is also gluten free, dairy free and packed with veggies.

    My Mother in Law has been adding hummus to shrimp for years! The breaded part sounds so tasty though! Hummus and shrimp is seriously an amazing combo.

    Never thought to use hummus as a marinade! Genius! And yes, love that it can double as the dressing too!
