In serving bowls, layer cooked brown rice or quinoa and fresh greens as the base.
Top with cooked shrimp, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, olives, and feta.

- Serve immediately or store components separately for meal prep.
Notes
- Swap brown rice for quinoa or couscous for variety.
- For a low-carb version, use cauliflower rice.
- Best enjoyed fresh, but components can be prepped ahead for easy assembly.
- Adjust spices to your taste — paprika adds a mild smoky flavor.
- Keep sauces separate when meal prepping to maintain freshness.
