Learn how to make delicious Mediterranean Shrimp Bowl. Easy recipe with step-by-step instructions.

Ingredients

Scale

To recreate this culinary delight, you’ll need the following ingredients:

  • 1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Juice of 1 lemon
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 cup quinoa or couscous, cooked
  • 1 cucumber, diced
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1/2 red onion, thinly sliced
  • 1/4 cup kalamata olives, pitted and sliced
  • 1/4 cup feta cheese, crumbled
  • Fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish

If quinoa isn’t your favorite, feel free to substitute it with couscous or even a bed of mixed greens for a lighter option. My grandma always said that recipes are like stories, meant to be shared and adapted.

Instructions

Let’s walk through the steps to bring this dish to life. It’s simpler than you might think!

  1. In a medium bowl, combine the shrimp, olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, oregano, salt, and pepper. Toss well to ensure the shrimp is evenly coated, then let it marinate for at least 15 minutes.
  2. While the shrimp is marinating, cook the quinoa or couscous according to package instructions. Once cooked, fluff with a fork and set aside.
  3. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the marinated shrimp and cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until the shrimp turns pink and opaque.
  4. In a large bowl, combine the cooked quinoa, diced cucumber, cherry tomatoes, red onion, olives, and crumbled feta cheese. Toss gently to mix.
  5. To assemble the bowl, start with a base of the quinoa mixture, then top with the cooked shrimp. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.

Cooking this dish reminds me of the times I spent in the kitchen with my grandma, watching her effortlessly blend ingredients with love and care.
