If you are looking for a healthy weeknight meal that the whole family can enjoy, I’ve got you covered with these delicious grilled Greek shrimp bowls. These bowls can be ready in under 30 minutes, are so full of flavor and you will want to make them on a weekly basis. Grilled marinated shrimp pair with Greek rice, fresh veggies, and a creamy tzatziki that all come together to make the ultimate dinner bowl! You will love making these grilled Greek shrimp bowls for an easy and healthy weeknight meal over and over again.

Can I prepare the shrimp another way?

While grilling is my preferred method here, you can also prepare the shrimp in a skillet or by roasting them in the oven at 375 degrees until cooked through.

What can I use instead of rice?

You can substitute the rice for farro, orzo, cauliflower rice, or omit all together if you prefer. My family loves rice, so we always serve my Greek rice with these bowls.

Can I buy Tzatziki?

YES! There are several brands of prepared tzatziki in most grocery stores, so if you want to save time on dinner prep, feel free to buy some.

Can I make a homemade Greek seasoning blend?

Yes! Simply make your own by combining oregano, dried garlic, dried onion, marjoram, dill, and thyme.

I can’t wait for you to give this recipe a try for yourself. It’s a family favorite around the dinner table at my house and I know it will be at yours too.
