Ingredients
- 1 pound medium-sized shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 cup quinoa
- 2 cups vegetable broth
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
- Salt and pepper to taste
Going Step by Step
- Rinse the quinoa under cold water to remove any bitterness. Set aside.
- In a medium-sized saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1-2 minutes.
- Add the quinoa to the saucepan and stir to coat it with the garlic-infused oil. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Pour in the vegetable broth and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes or until the quinoa is cooked and the liquid is absorbed.
- While the quinoa is cooking, heat a separate skillet over medium heat. Add the shrimp and cook until pink and opaque, about 3-4 minutes per side. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Once the quinoa is ready, fluff it with a fork and transfer it to a serving bowl. Add the cooked shrimp, cherry tomatoes, and chopped parsley. Gently toss to combine all the ingredients.
- Serve the Garlic Shrimp Quinoa warm and enjoy!
- Give it a try and enjoy!
Tips
- For an extra kick, add some crushed red pepper flakes to the shrimp while cooking.
- Feel free to customize the dish by adding your favorite vegetables or herbs.
- To enhance the flavor, squeeze some fresh lemon juice over the dish before serving.
We are sure you are a perfect cook! Nonetheless, do remember to pay attention to the amount of Garlic Shrimp Quinoa you consume: it should always be modified based on the strength of your product and the potency you desire. Dosing homemade edibles can be tricky, so it is strongly recommended to start with one portion of a serving. After one or two hours, listen to your body and decide whether to consume more. It is not recommended to drive or operate any machinery when taking edibles. Use responsibly!
