Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. On a baking sheet, toss zucchini, bell pepper, red onion, and cherry tomatoes with 1 tbsp olive oil, salt, pepper, and half the smoked paprika. Roast for 20–25 minutes until tender and slightly caramelized.

  6. Assemble bowls by layering couscous, roasted veggies, and shrimp.
  7. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley or cilantro before serving.

Notes

  • Substitute quinoa or brown rice for couscous for a gluten-free option.
  • Add feta cheese or a dollop of hummus for extra flavor.
  • You can use pre-cooked shrimp to save time—just warm them briefly in the skillet.
