Shrimp Quinoa with Vegetables

Hello Everyone! Today’s recipe, Shrimp Quinoa with Vegetables, is super easy to make, it’s light for your stomach, taste amazing, and is a perfect summer recipe.

This yummy meal goes perfectly with some fresh vegetables or, in our case, with Basil Tzatziki Sauce that we had leftover from a day before :). If you haven’t tried our Tzatziki recipe, check it out, you won’t regret :).

We mentioned this a dozen times now, but we are not huge fans of salt, we basically don’t use it, and if we use it, it’s a very small amount. Knowing this you can guess that we haven’t included salt in this recipe. There is no need to. Shrimps are a type of sea fish which is already salty, so no need for extra salt in this case.

In this delicious recipe, we used quinoa as our grain. You can use rice or anything else you like instead.

What we love to do is to meal prep quinoa. We usually do it on Sunday and have enough to last the whole week. This is what we did here, we used our already prepared quinoa.

 
In our opinion, quinoa tastes the best at room temperature. Eating it when it’s still hot is not our thing. 🙂
