Charred Shrimp and Herb Quinoa Pilaf
Pan-seared shrimp and colorful bell peppers tossed with fluffy herb-infused quinoa and finished with a squeeze of zesty charred lemon.
INGREDIENTS
190g Large Shrimp, peeled and deveined
120g Cooked Quinoa
100g Sliced Red Bell Pepper
50g Sliced Red Onion
1.5 tsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1 clove Garlic, minced
2 tbsp Fresh Parsley, chopped
PREPARATION
Pat the shrimp dry with paper towels and season lightly with salt, pepper, and a pinch of smoked paprika.
Heat the extra virgin olive oil in a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.
Add the sliced bell peppers and red onions to the skillet, cooking undisturbed for 2-3 minutes until they develop dark charred spots.
Push the vegetables to the outer edges of the pan and place the shrimp in the center in a single layer.
Sear the shrimp for approximately 2 minutes per side until they are opaque, pink, and slightly charred.
Stir in the minced garlic and cooked quinoa, tossing all ingredients together for 1 minute to ensure the pilaf is heated through.
Remove the skillet from the heat and fold in the fresh parsley and a generous squeeze of fresh lemon juice before serving.
