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.

Provided by Erin Clarke / Well Plated

Categories     Main Course

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 11

4 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil (divided)
1 pound raw tail-on shrimp (26-30 count, peeled and deveined)
1 teaspoon kosher salt (divided)
1/2 teaspoon chili powder (divided)
1/3 cup finely chopped yellow onion (about half of 1 small onion)
3 cloves garlic (minced (about 1 tablespoon))
1 cup uncooked quinoa
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
2 cups low-sodium chicken broth
1 large lemon
3 tablespoons fresh parsley (plus additional for serving)

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.
