Quick & Easy Mediterranean Shrimp Bowls with Tahini Sauce

By

I have quite the delicious recipe to share with you guys! Well, actually, it’s more of a meal idea, so feel free to play around with the measurements of each of the ingredients depending on your taste preferences. Either way, it’s a dish that comes together in a matter of minutes, especially if you prepare the ingredients ahead of time, like on your meal prep day. Let’s just say, for a weeknight dinner or packable lunch, it’s definitely a winner!

Some prep notes to make this meal really come together in a flash:

  • Buy already cooked and detailed (peeled and deveined) shrimp, so all you need to do is heat it up.
  • Cook rice ahead of time. I just started using our Instant Pot to make ours, and it’s THE BEST and so much more affordable (and not cooked in plastic) than the microwave bagged stuff we were using.
  • Make tahini dressing ahead of time and store it in the fridge. I actually made a huge batch, so we have it on-hand whenever we need it.
  • Use jarred olives and sundried tomatoes – just grab a fork and add some to your bowl!

Mediterranean Shrimp Bowls with Tahini Sauce

  • 1 pound large shrimp (peeled and deveined) (defrosted)
  • 2 cups white rice (cooked)
  • 1/2 cup Kalamata olives (pitted)
  • 1/2 cup sundried tomatoes (drained)
  • 2 tbsp pine nuts
  • tahini dressing
  1. Detail shrimp and cook as directed. Cook rice as directed. When shrimp and rice are finished cooking, assemble bowls by adding olives, sundried tomatoes, and pine nuts. Finally, drizzle tahini dressing on top. Dig in!

Once again, I’ve partnered with Brother  to show the versatility of the  Brother P-touch Label Maker , especially when it comes to fitness and gym equipment.  As always, thank you for supporting CNC! I receive quite a few questions from readers about what I eat before, during, and after workouts, so I decide to share those with you today. It changes a little bit from workout-to-workout, but I keep a general framework in mind. BEFORE (approximately 30 minutes): I typically eat a small snack made up of mostly simple carbs since they provide quick energy. Some favorites: Half of a banana or another piece of whole fruit, a protein bar, handful of raisins, or a rice cake with jam and sometimes nut butter (it just depends how hungry I am and the timing of my workout). DURING : I typically don’t consume anything during my workouts, unless they’re longer than 90 minutes, like if I’m training for a long distance race (i.e. half marathon). In that case, I’ll take an energy gel and water ev

Here’s my Evernote review and all the great features you can use to make your thoughts, notes, and files easy to find, sort, and save.  This post is sponsored by Evernote .  Raise your hand if your digital life feels cluttered. If we were in a room, almost everyone’s hand would go up, including mine!  With so much of our lives digitized these days, it’s hard not to get overwhelmed with all the information we need to save and reference. And because computers, the internet, and living in email and calendars are relatively new to humans, we as a society are still learning good systems. If I asked you to organize a paper filing cabinet, you’d probably have a few good ideas on how to do that. But if I asked you to organize a computer hard drive, many of us get stumped on the sheer volume of files and the endless ways to sort.  The good news is there are apps that make this process more intuitiv
