Quinoa Bowl With Shrimp Recipes

GARLIC SHRIMP WITH QUINOA

Steps:

• In a large nonstick skillet with a tight-fitting lid, heat 2 teaspoons of the olive oil over medium high.
• Add the shrimp, then sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon chili powder. Sauté just until the shrimp are pink and cooked through, about 3 minutes. Immediately remove the shrimp to a plate so they do not overcook.
• Heat the remaining 2 teaspoons olive oil in the same skillet, then add the onion. Let cook until the onion begins to soften, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook just until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
• Add the quinoa, cayenne, and remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon chili powder. Stir to coat the quinoa with the oil and let brown for 2 minutes.
• Pour in the chicken stock, then increase the heat to high and bring the broth to a boil. Once boiling, cover and reduce the heat to a simmer. Let simmer until the quinoa is tender, 12 to 15 minutes. Uncover and fluff with a fork.
• Zest the lemon directly into the pan, then juice the lemon and add the lemon juice and parsley to the skillet as well. Toss to combine, then top with the reserved shrimp. Sprinkle with additional fresh parsley. Serve warm.

QUINOA BOWL WITH SHRIMP

Steps:

• For the quinoa: Pour the quinoa into a bowl and cover with cold water. Transfer to a fine mesh strainer and drain well.
• Put 2 cups water in a medium saucepan and season with salt so it tastes like the sea. Bring to a boil, then add the quinoa. Stir, reduce the heat to a simmer and cook until the water is absorbed, around 15 minutes. Set aside.
• For the shrimp and vegetables: Heat a wok or large skillet over high heat, then add half of the oil and all of the shrimp. Cook, stirring the entire time, until the shrimp are cooked through, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove the shrimp and set aside.
• Add the remaining 1 1/2 tablespoons oil to the wok, followed by the broccoli, peppers, garlic, ginger and edamame. Cook, stirring the entire time, for 2 to 3 minutes. Add the soy sauce and agave, cooked quinoa and shrimp, then sprinkle with the lemon juice and sriracha and toss.

QUINOA BOWL WITH SHRIMP AND VEGETABLES

Steps:

• Combine 2 cups water with the quinoa, garlic and a pinch each of salt and pepper in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat, cover and simmer until the quinoa is tender and the water is absorbed, about 15 minutes. Fluff with a fork. Let cool slightly, about 10 minutes.
• Meanwhile, stir the sugar and vinegar in a medium bowl until dissolved. Whisk in the olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Transfer half the dressing to another medium bowl. Add the zucchini, both peas and the light green parts of the scallions to one bowl; toss. Add the shrimp to the other bowl and toss.
• Divide the quinoa among bowls and top with the vegetable mixture and shrimp. Sprinkle with the scallion greens and basil.
