A light, fresh, colorful summer favorite that's still totally satisfying. Shrimp gets a quick marinade of smoked paprika, oregano, garlic and lemon, then seared and served over rice with a bright cucumber-tomato salad and crumbled feta. Great for meal prep and easy to customize.

1
Peel and devein the shrimp, remove the tails, and pat them very dry with paper towel so the seasoning and oil will stick.
2
Drizzle with a little olive oil, grate in the garlic, add the oregano, smoked paprika, and Aleppo pepper (or hot pepper flakes), then squeeze in the lemon juice and toss. Let marinate only a few minutes, since the lemon's acid will start to 'cook' the shrimp like ceviche if left too long.
3
If prepping ahead, season the shrimp in advance but hold off adding the lemon juice until just before cooking.
4
Preheat a grill pan (or skillet) well and lightly oil it. Cook the shrimp in a single layer for about 1.5 minutes per side until nicely colored and cooked through.
5
While the shrimp cook, halve or quarter the cherry tomatoes and chop the dill, cucumber, and shallot to make a fresh salad topping.
6
In a bowl, add a base of cooked rice (or shredded lettuce), top with the cooked shrimp, and pile on the tomato-cucumber salad.
7
Finish with a sprinkle of crumbled feta (omit if you like) and enjoy your colorful, delicious Mediterranean shrimp bowl.
