Time 35m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 cup quinoa, rinsed and drained
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 lime
1-inch piece fresh ginger, peeled and finely grated
1/2 small jalapeno, finely chopped (seeds removed for less heat)
2 scallions, thinly sliced
1/3 cup fresh cilantro leaves, chopped
1 1/4 pounds medium shrimp, peeled and deveined, tails removed
1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon hot paprika

Steps:

  • Preheat the broiler to high. Put the quinoa in a small saucepan with 1 1/2 cups water and 3/4 teaspoon salt. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce heat to maintain a gentle simmer and cook, uncovered, until quinoa grains are tender, about 15 minutes. Let stand for 5 minutes. Drain off any excess water if needed, transfer to a large bowl and fluff with a fork.
  • Whisk 1 tablespoon oil, zest and juice from half the lime, ginger and jalapeno together in a small bowl until combined. Season with salt and pepper. Pour over the quinoa, add the scallions and cilantro and toss well.
  • Toss the shrimp, the remaining 1 tablespoon oil and paprika together on a baking sheet. Broil until the shrimp are opaque and cooked through, about 4 minutes. Drizzle with the juice from the remaining lime half and serve with the quinoa.

This recipe was a waste of time. The shrimp were tough and the quinoa was dry.

I followed the recipe exactly, but the quinoa turned out mushy. I'm not sure what I did wrong.

This recipe was a bit bland for my taste. I added some extra spices to give it more flavor.

I found that the shrimp cooked a little too quickly. I had to watch them closely so they didn't overcook.

This recipe was a bit too spicy for me, but I still enjoyed it. Next time, I'll use less cayenne pepper.

I'm not a fan of cilantro, so I omitted it from the recipe. The dish was still delicious without it.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover shrimp. I had some shrimp that was about to go bad, so I made this dish and it turned out great!

I made this recipe with brown rice instead of quinoa and it turned out great! I also added some chopped vegetables to the quinoa for extra flavor.
