Power up your wellness routine with these vibrant, nutrient-packed Buddha bowls that perfectly balance flavor and nutrition. The omega-3 rich shrimp provides essential nutrients for heart health, while fresh pesto delivers a boost of antioxidants through basil and heart-healthy fats from olive oil. Ready in less than 30 minutes, these customizable bowls make the perfect energizing weeknight dinner. Feel free to personalize with additional vegetables or swap the shrimp for chicken, lean beef, tofu, or edamame to suit your dietary preferences.
Create the vinaigrette by whisking the pesto, vinegar, oil, salt and pepper in a large bowl. Remove 4 tablespoons of the mixture to a small bowl; set both bowls aside.
Heat a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add shrimp and cook, stirring, until cooked through with a slight char, 4 to 5 minutes. Remove to a plate.
Add arugula and quinoa to the large bowl with the vinaigrette and toss to coat. Divide the arugula mixture between 4 bowls. Top with tomatoes, avocado and shrimp. Drizzle each bowl with 1 tablespoon of the reserved pesto mixture.
