A vibrant and healthy Lemon Dijon Shrimp Brown Rice Bowl topped with a tangy Lemon Feta Yogurt Sauce. This dish combines succulent marinated shrimp, wholesome brown rice, fresh steamed veggies, and a creamy, zesty sauce for a nutritious and satisfying meal.

Ingredients

Scale

For the Shrimp:

  • 12–15 large shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • Zest and juice of 1 lemon
  • 1 garlic clove, minced
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

For the Brown Rice Bowl:

  • 2 cups cooked brown rice
  • 1 cup steamed broccoli florets
  • 1/2 cup shredded carrots
  • 1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley

For the Lemon Feta Yogurt Sauce:

  • 1/2 cup Greek yogurt
  • 2 tablespoons crumbled feta
  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Marinate the Shrimp: In a bowl, toss the peeled and deveined shrimp with olive oil, Dijon mustard, fresh lemon juice and zest, minced garlic, salt, and pepper. Allow the shrimp to marinate for 5 to 10 minutes to absorb the flavors.
  2. Cook the Shrimp: Heat a skillet over medium heat. Add the marinated shrimp and cook for 2 to 3 minutes on each side until the shrimp turn pink and opaque, ensuring they are cooked through but tender.
  3. Prepare the Sauce: In a small bowl, combine Greek yogurt, crumbled feta cheese, lemon zest, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Stir until the sauce is smooth and creamy, with a balanced tangy flavor.
  4. Assemble the Bowl: Divide the cooked brown rice evenly between serving bowls. Top each bowl with steamed broccoli florets, shredded carrots, halved cherry tomatoes, and the cooked shrimp. Drizzle the lemon feta yogurt sauce over everything, then sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley for a burst of color and freshness.
  5. Serve: Serve the bowls warm. Optionally, provide extra lemon wedges on the side for those who enjoy an additional citrus kick.

Notes

  • For a spicier variation, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the shrimp marinade.
  • Use quinoa or cauliflower rice as a gluten-free alternative to brown rice if desired.
  • If fresh lemon is not available, substitute with 1 tablespoon bottled lemon juice and 1/2 teaspoon lemon zest.
  • To save time, cook shrimp and steam vegetables ahead and reheat before assembling.
  • Leftovers store well in the refrigerator for up to 2 days and can be reheated in a microwave or skillet.
