Garlic Butter Shrimp And Quinoa Food

GARLIC BUTTER SHRIMP AND QUINOA

Steps:

• In a medium pot, boil chicken stock or water and cook quinoa according to instructions on the package.
• In a small bowl, toss shrimp, salt, paprika and cornstarch together until lightly coated.
• In a large skillet, melt butter over medium-high heat then with tongs, grab individual shrimp and shake off excess cornstarch. Add to skillet and sear on both sides then remove and place on a plate so you don't overcook the shrimp. It's okay if it's not fully cooked through. You will ensure it's completely cooked through shortly.
• Add garlic to skillet and saute until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add shrimp back in and cook until cooked through.
• Fluff cooked quinoa and season with salt and pepper. Add basil, toss to incorporate, then divide evenly amongst bowls.
• Divide shrimp evenly on top of quinoa and serve.

GARLIC BUTTER SHRIMP

Steps:

• Melt butter in a large skillet or wok over medium-low heat. Add shrimp; cook and stir until shrimp turn pink, about 5 minutes. Mix in garlic powder.

GARLIC SHRIMP WITH QUINOA

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.

GARLIC BUTTER SHRIMP AND QUINOA RECIPE

Steps:

• Place a large non-stick skillet over medium heat then add 3Tbsp of butter and melt completely. Add onion, bell pepper, celery and garlic. Cook for 3-4 minutes-until onion and bell pepper have begun to soften.
• Add uncooked quinoa then stir to combine. Cook for 1 minute, toasting the quinoa, then pour in chicken broth. Bring mixture to boil, reduce heat to low then add oregano and thyme. Stir to combine then cover and let simmer for 15 minutes.
• After quinoa has simmered for 15 minutes, remove lid then stir. Add shrimp then arrange on top of the quinoa. The shrimp will probably cover the entire top of the dish, so you may have to nestle a few of them into the mixture. Replace lid then allow shrimp to simmer for 3-4 minutes, or until cooked through.
• Remove lid and test quinoa for doneness. You'll know quinoa is done when it's completely soft but still 'pops' a bit when eaten. The quinoa should have absorbed nearly all of the liquid at this point, but it will continue to absorb moisture as it sits.
• Remove skillet from heat. Melt remaining 3 Tbsp of butter in microwave. Stir garlic salt and red pepper flakes into melted butter then drizzle over shrimp. Sprinkle the top with fresh parsley and serve immediately with lemon wedges on the side. Enjoy!

HEALTHY GARLIC SHRIMP AND QUINOA GRITS

Steps:

• Melt 2 tablespoons of the butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add half the garlic, and cook, stirring, until soft, about 2 minutes. Add the quinoa, 2 1/3 cups water, 1/4 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper, and bring to a simmer, stirring. Cover, reduce the heat to medium-low and cook until the quinoa is tender (the little white tails become visible) and the liquid is the consistency of a thin porridge, 10 to 15 minutes. Remove the saucepan from the heat, and whisk in the Parmesan and half the parsley. Cover and keep warm.
• Meanwhile, season the shrimp with 1/4 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper. Heat the oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the shrimp in a single layer (it's OK if they touch), and cook until the underside turns pink, about 2 minutes. Turn the shrimp, add the remaining garlic and cook until the shrimp begin to curl and turn totally pink, about 2 minutes more. Add the wine, 2 tablespoons water and the remaining parsley, reserving a pinch for garnish. Once the liquid has reduced by half, swirl in the remaining 2 tablespoons butter until smooth. Divide the quinoa and shrimp among 4 bowls, top with the pan sauce and sprinkle with the reserved parsley.
