Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Grilled Shrimp Grain Bowl with Tahini Dressing.
Step 1
Start by grabbing a large bowl and whisk together some olive oil, red wine vinegar, chopped oregano, salt, and black pepper until everything is nicely blended.
Step 2
Next, add in the shrimp, zucchini, and diced red onion, giving it all a good toss to ensure that the shrimp and veggies are well-coated in that delicious marinade.
Step 3
Now, it’s time to get creative! Thread the shrimp and vegetables onto eight 8-inch skewers, alternating them for a vibrant and colorful presentation that’s sure to impress.
Step 4
While you’re prepping, preheat your outdoor grill to medium heat and give the grate a light oiling to keep everything from sticking.
Step 5
As the grill warms up, let’s whip up a tasty tahini dressing.
Step 6
In a small bowl, combine tahini, lemon juice, maple syrup, and minced garlic, whisking them together.
Step 7
Gradually add water while whisking continuously until the dressing reaches a smooth, drizzling consistency that you’ll want to pour over everything.
Step 8
Once your grill is ready, place the skewers on it and cook them, covered, for about 10 to 12 minutes.
Step 9
Remember to turn them halfway through so they cook evenly, until the shrimp turn opaque and the vegetables are crisp-tender.
Step 10
To serve, divide warm cooked farro among four bowls, creating a cozy base for your meal.
Step 11
Top each bowl with the grilled shrimp and vegetables, add some halved cherry tomatoes for a pop of color, and sprinkle with fresh mint for that extra burst of flavor.
Step 12
Finally, drizzle your homemade tahini dressing over the top and serve with lemon wedges on the side for a zesty finish.
Step 13
Enjoy this delightful dish that’s not only a feast for the eyes but also a treat for your taste buds!.
