Ingredients

Scale

For the Garlic Shrimp

  • 1 lb (450 g) large shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • ½ tsp smoked paprika
  • ½ tsp chili flakes (optional)
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • Juice of ½ lemon

For the Sausage

  • 12 oz (340 g) smoked sausage or chicken sausage, sliced
  • 1 tbsp olive oil

For the Power Bowl Base

  • 2 cups cooked brown rice, quinoa, or farro
  • 1 cup roasted sweet potatoes or baby potatoes
  • 1 cup steamed or sautéed broccoli
  • ½ red bell pepper, sliced

For the Garlic Yogurt Drizzle (Optional)

  • ¾ cup Greek yogurt
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 small garlic clove, grated
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • Salt, to taste

For Garnish

  • Fresh parsley or cilantro, chopped
  • Lemon wedges

Instructions

  1. Cook the Sausage: Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add sausage slices and cook for 4–5 minutes until they are browned and slightly crispy. Remove the sausage from the skillet and set aside.
  2. Cook the Shrimp: Using the same skillet, add olive oil and minced garlic. Sauté for about 30 seconds until the garlic becomes fragrant but not browned. Add the shrimp along with smoked paprika, chili flakes, salt, and black pepper. Cook the shrimp for 2–3 minutes on each side or until they turn pink and opaque, then finish by squeezing the juice of half a lemon over them.
  3. Prepare the Garlic Yogurt Drizzle: In a small bowl, whisk together Greek yogurt, olive oil, grated garlic, lemon juice, and salt until the mixture is smooth and creamy. This drizzle adds a cool, tangy complement to the dish.
  4. Assemble the Power Bowls: Evenly divide cooked grains such as brown rice, quinoa, or farro into serving bowls. Top each bowl with roasted sweet or baby potatoes, steamed or sautéed broccoli, sliced red bell pepper, cooked sausage, and garlic shrimp.
  5. Serve: Drizzle the optional garlic yogurt sauce over the bowls. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley or cilantro and serve with lemon wedges on the side for an extra burst of freshness.

Notes

  • You can substitute smoked sausage with chicken sausage for a leaner option.
  • If you prefer a spicier dish, increase the amount of chili flakes or add a dash of hot sauce.
  • The garlic yogurt drizzle is optional but highly recommended for added creaminess and flavor balance.
  • Use any cooked grain you prefer or have on hand, such as couscous or barley.
  • For a gluten-free version, ensure your sausage and grains are certified gluten-free.
  • Leftovers can be refrigerated up to 3 days and reheated gently on the stove or in the microwave.
