Green Goddess Quinoa Bowls With Arugula Shrimp Food

GREEN GODDESS QUINOA BOWLS WITH ARUGULA & SHRIMP

Steps:

• Follow the microwave directions on the package to prepare quinoa (you'll need both pouches that come in the package). Once heated, transfer the quinoa to a shallow bowl to cool completely before assembling bowls.
• Transfer 2 tablespoons dressing into each of 4 small lidded containers and refrigerate for up to 4 days.
• Divide arugula among 4 single-serving containers (about 1 1/4 cups each). Top each with 1/2 cup quinoa and 2 tablespoons feta. Seal and refrigerate for up to 4 days.
• In the morning before taking your lunch to go, transfer one-fourth of the bag of shrimp to a colander and run under cool water until thawed, about 2 to 3 minutes. Add to the meal-prep container. Dress with the salad dressing just before serving.

QUINOA BOWL WITH SHRIMP AND VEGETABLES

Steps:

• Combine 2 cups water with the quinoa, garlic and a pinch each of salt and pepper in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat, cover and simmer until the quinoa is tender and the water is absorbed, about 15 minutes. Fluff with a fork. Let cool slightly, about 10 minutes.
• Meanwhile, stir the sugar and vinegar in a medium bowl until dissolved. Whisk in the olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Transfer half the dressing to another medium bowl. Add the zucchini, both peas and the light green parts of the scallions to one bowl; toss. Add the shrimp to the other bowl and toss.
• Divide the quinoa among bowls and top with the vegetable mixture and shrimp. Sprinkle with the scallion greens and basil.
