5 Easy Paleo Weeknight Dinners

Try one of these easy paleo weeknight dinners when you need to get supper on the table. These go-to recipes make eating paleo every day easier.

It's the end of the day and you have nothing planned for dinner. Or you want to just throw something in the slow cooker before you run out the door. What's your go-to?

Here are five favorites to get you through your busy week. Each one has minimal hands on time and just a few easy steps. As long as your pantry is well-stocked, you've got dinner.

1. Garlic Roasted Shrimp with Zucchini Pasta

This garlic roasted shrimp with zucchini pasta is a great weeknight dinner—you can have it on the table in 20 minutes. I always keep a bag of shrimp in the freezer for quick dinners. Just put them in a bowl of cold water to thaw while you preheat the oven.

2. Antipasto Salad

This is one of my favorite no-cook weeknight meals. A little slicing and a quick shake of the Italian dressing ingredients, and dinner is ready. Antipasto salad is hearty and full of flavor—perfect when you don’t want to turn on the stove.

3. Chili Roasted Chicken Thighs

Chicken thighs are one of my go-to weeknight dinners. You can roast them simply with olive oil, salt, and pepper—or dress them up with whatever flavors you have in the kitchen. With my homemade chili powder all the spices are in the mix, so the chicken is ready to go in the oven in less time than it takes to preheat.

4. Crock Pot Turkey Bolognese Sauce

This paleo take on Bolognese sauce couldn’t be easier. Just dump everything in the slow cooker before you leave in the morning—no browning required. The zucchini noodles take just a few minutes to make when you get home.

5. Mustard Crusted Salmon with Roasted Asparagus

This recipe is incredibly simple and one of my go-to meals when I don’t have time to cook. I can get this mustard crusted salmon with roasted asparagus on the table in 15 minutes using one sheet pan. It’s faster than ordering take out.
