A "dry rub" is a cooking technique where a spice mixture is rubbed on a meat or vegetable, and allowed a little time to let its flavor permeate and penetrate. In this case, chili powder is rubbed into shrimp before grilling to amp up its smoky, spicy, charred, awesomeness. A light dressing of rice wine vinegar let's the natural flavors of the zucchini, carrots and tomatoes shine through and quinoa, a superfood worthy of its title, provides the heartiness to keep you satisfied for hours.
