WARM QUINOA SALAD WITH SHRIMP AND ASPARAGUS
From wholefoods.com. This is similar to either fried rice or a pilaf, but using quinoa instead of rice. The lemon and garlic is very tasty with the shrimp. To prepare the quinoa, I always wash it very well and then toast it for about 10 minutes on medium heat in a small non-stick pan first. Even though I have made this recipe, I am not 100% sure on the total time it takes to prepare this dish, so consider it an estimated time.
