Feta Shrimp & Roasted Brussel Bowl with Coconut Rice

A perfect weekday dish FULL of flavor and enough to fill some bellies!

I LOVEEE this dish! I seriously could not eat enough of it, I honestly could opt out of the potatoes and eat everything else but if your feeding someone else who needs a little more to help fill them up then keep them. (aka my husband) LOL If I fed this to him without the potatoes he would probably need a snack an hour later haha, but good either way!

You can also opt out of the goat cheese, I just tried it this time because we had leftover and it was delish with it.
