Green Goddess Quinoa Bowls with Arugula & Shrimp

Lunch

We're taking advantage of all the healthy items you can find at your local specialty grocery store to create these healthy meal-prep lunches. To add extra protein (while minimizing prep time), we're using fully cooked quinoa and cooked shrimp, both of which you can find in the freezer section. With a few more simple items, including bottled salad dressing, you'll have all the ingredients you need to make these high-protein green goddess salad bowls in under 20 minutes.

Ingredients

1 (16 ounce) package frozen cooked quinoa
½ cup green goddess salad dressing
1 (7 ounce) package baby arugula
½ cup crumbled feta cheese
1 (16 ounce) package frozen peeled and deveined cooked large shrimp

Description

Follow the microwave directions on the package to prepare quinoa (you'll need both pouches that come in the package). Once heated, transfer the quinoa to a shallow bowl to cool completely before assembling bowls.
Transfer 2 tablespoons dressing into each of 4 small lidded containers and refrigerate for up to 4 days.
Divide arugula among 4 single-serving containers (about 1 1/4 cups each). Top each with 1/2 cup quinoa and 2 tablespoons feta. Seal and refrigerate for up to 4 days.
In the morning before taking your lunch to go, transfer one-fourth of the bag of shrimp to a colander and run under cool water until thawed, about 2 to 3 minutes. Add to the meal-prep container. Dress with the salad dressing just before serving.
