Garlic Shrimp with Quinoa and Asparagus
Sautéed shrimp and tender asparagus tossed in a vibrant garlic-lemon sauce and served over a bed of fluffy, protein-rich quinoa.
INGREDIENTS
8 oz shrimp
0.25 cup quinoa
1 cup asparagus
0.5 tbsp olive oil
2 cloves garlic
1 tbsp lemon juice
0.25 tsp sea salt
0.25 tsp black pepper
0.25 tsp red pepper flakes
1 tbsp fresh parsley
PREPARATION
Rinse the quinoa under cold water, then combine with 0.5 cup water in a small pot; bring to a boil, reduce to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes until fluffy.
While quinoa cooks, trim the woody ends off the asparagus and cut the spears into 2-inch pieces.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Add the asparagus to the skillet and sauté for 3-4 minutes until tender-crisp and bright green.
Add the shrimp and minced garlic to the skillet, seasoning with sea salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes.
Sauté the shrimp for 2-3 minutes per side until they are opaque and pink.
Remove the skillet from heat and stir in the fresh lemon juice and chopped parsley.
Fluff the cooked quinoa with a fork and serve the garlic shrimp and asparagus mixture directly over the top.
