Ingredients
Directions
- Rinse quinoa under cold water in a fine mesh strainer. In a medium saucepan, bring 2 cups of water to a boil. Add quinoa, reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until quinoa is tender and water has been absorbed. Fluff with a fork and set aside.
- In a large bowl, combine shrimp, 1 tablespoon olive oil, Cajun seasoning, paprika, and cayenne pepper (if using). Toss to coat the shrimp evenly.
- Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add shrimp and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until they are pink and cooked through.
- In a large bowl, combine cooked quinoa, cherry tomatoes, bell pepper, and red onion. Drizzle with lemon juice, and season with salt and pepper. Toss to combine.
- Divide the quinoa and vegetable mixture among four bowls. Top each bowl with cooked Cajun shrimp and garnish with fresh cilantro. Serve immediately.
