Garlic Shrimp with Quinoa

Garlic Shrimp with Quinoa—Easy, quick, and delicious! Healthy recipe with fresh lemon and garlic. Not too spicy with lots of flavour.

Ingredients

4 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil — divided

450g raw Prawns

1 teaspoon sea salt

1/2 teaspoon chili powder

1 small onion

3 cloves garlic minced

1 cup uncooked Quinoa

1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper

450ml chicken broth

1 large lemon

3 tablespoons fresh parsley — plus additional for serving

Method

In a large nonstick skillet with a tight-fitting lid, heat 2 teaspoons of the olive oil over medium high. Add the Prawns, then sprinkle with salt and chili powder. Sauté just until the Prawns are pink and cooked through, about 3 minutes. Immediately remove the prawns 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 salt and 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.
