Easy Quinoa and Shrimp Recipe

June 11, 2015

Quinoa is really trendy now, but besides that, it is pretty healthy. I tried to make it a few times by itself and it just wasn’t good to me. I’ve been seeing a lot of healthy recipes that have it and one of my closest friends always talks about how good it is so I figured I would try it again.

I bought this brand from WalMart:

I used this recipe and amended it just a tad.

Here’s how I made it:

  • 1 lb already cooked shrimp
  • 1 cup of quinoa
  • A few broccoli florets
  • 3 cups of chicken broth
  • 1 tblsp Olive oil
  • Butter to melt and pour on top when done (with dash of crushed red pepper)
  • 2 Teaspoons of garlic Powder
  • 2 Teaspoons of onion Powder
  • Salt and Pepper to taste
  • Parsley for garnish

1. Heat non-stick pan with olive oil, add garlic and onion powder, stir for 1 minute. Add quinoa and season with salt and pepper. Then, add chicken broth and let it cook for 15-20. I added my shrimp and broccoli in mid way through cooking.

Check the dish periodically to make sure the quinoa is becoming fluffy. After about 15-20 it should be done. Melt butter, add crushed red pepper (or whatever season you choose) and pour it over the quinoa.

And it’s ready to eat! I was really surprised at how good this dish was. It reminded me of fried rice and I loooove asian food so I’ll probably be making it a lot more.

Enjoy 🙂
