How To Make mediterranean shrimp bowl

  • 1
    Bring 3 cups of salted water to a boil. Add the quinoa and return to a boil. Reduce the heat to a simmer, cover and cook until tender, about 12 minutes. Set it aside to cool.
  • 2
    Heat oil in a skillet large enough to hold the shrimp. Pat dry shrimp and place them into a skillet. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Cook until starting to turn pink (if using raw shrimp) or long enough to warm up. Flip shrimp part way through cooking. This will be a short amount of time, especially if using cooked shrimp. Don't overcook!
  • 3
    Remove shrimp from heat. Grate the zest from a lemon and the juice of that lemon over them; set aside.
  • 4
    Divide quinoa between 4 bowls, top with lemony shrimp, shallot, zucchini, olives, tomatoes, roasted red pepper, mushrooms, greens and Feta. Pour salad dressing over all. Sprinkle with Italian seasoning.
