GARLIC BUTTER SHRIMP AND QUINOA RECIPE

Steps:

• Place a large non-stick skillet over medium heat then add 3Tbsp of butter and melt completely. Add onion, bell pepper, celery and garlic. Cook for 3-4 minutes-until onion and bell pepper have begun to soften.
• Add uncooked quinoa then stir to combine. Cook for 1 minute, toasting the quinoa, then pour in chicken broth. Bring mixture to boil, reduce heat to low then add oregano and thyme. Stir to combine then cover and let simmer for 15 minutes.
• After quinoa has simmered for 15 minutes, remove lid then stir. Add shrimp then arrange on top of the quinoa. The shrimp will probably cover the entire top of the dish, so you may have to nestle a few of them into the mixture. Replace lid then allow shrimp to simmer for 3-4 minutes, or until cooked through.
• Remove lid and test quinoa for doneness. You'll know quinoa is done when it's completely soft but still 'pops' a bit when eaten. The quinoa should have absorbed nearly all of the liquid at this point, but it will continue to absorb moisture as it sits.
• Remove skillet from heat. Melt remaining 3 Tbsp of butter in microwave. Stir garlic salt and red pepper flakes into melted butter then drizzle over shrimp. Sprinkle the top with fresh parsley and serve immediately with lemon wedges on the side. Enjoy!

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.
