Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound of shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 2 cups of kale, chopped
  • 1 large sweet potato, diced
  • 1 cup of quinoa
  • 1 tablespoon of olive oil
  • 2 cloves of garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon of smoked paprika
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Optional: 1 avocado, sliced
  • Optional: 1/4 cup of feta cheese
  • Optional: 1/4 cup of pomegranate seeds
  • Optional: 1 tablespoon of sesame seeds
  • Optional: Lemon wedges for serving

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium pot, bring 2 cups of water to a boil. Add quinoa, reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 15 minutes or until fluffy. Set aside.
  3. Toss diced sweet potato with olive oil, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Spread on the baking sheet.
  4. Roast sweet potatoes for 20-25 minutes until tender and caramelized.
  5. Heat a skillet over medium heat, add olive oil, and sauté garlic until fragrant.
  6. Add shrimp, season with salt and pepper, and cook 3-4 minutes per side until pink and opaque. Remove from heat.
  7. In the same skillet, sauté kale for 2-3 minutes until wilted.
  8. Assemble bowls: start with quinoa, then top with roasted sweet potatoes, sautéed kale, and shrimp.
  9. Garnish with avocado, feta, pomegranate seeds, sesame seeds, and lemon wedges if desired.

Notes

Avoid overcooking shrimp to keep them tender. Roast sweet potatoes in a single layer for even caramelization. For a vegan version, substitute shrimp with tofu or tempeh and omit cheese.
