Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Place marinated chicken on a foil lined sheet that you’ve greased with no-stick spray. Bake chicken for 30-45 minutes or until juices run clear.

For Buster Pilaf: in a medium saucepan melt butter. Add onions and a little salt. Cook onions until golden. Add curry powder and rice. Cook for a few minutes while stirring to allow rice to get nutty. Add chicken broth and bring to a boil. Cover and cook on low heat for 30 mins. Once cooked, remove the lid and fluff with a fork.

For Buster Shrimp: Mix together softened butter and lime juice. Set aside. Season shrimp with cajun seasoning. Place oil in large non-stick pan and allow to shimmer over high heat. Add shrimp and cook quickly for about a minute or two or until shrimp cooks through. Turn off the heat and add reserved lemon butter.

For Yogurt Drizzle: Mix all ingredients in a bowl until combined. Place in a squirt bottle and keep refrigerated until ready to use.

To serve: placed cooked meats and rice on a plate. Drizzle on yogurt sauce and sprinkle on chopped mint. Serve warm.
