Shrimp And Quinoa Paella Food

SHRIMP QUINOA

Steps:

• Bring the quinoa and chicken broth to a boil in a saucepan over high heat. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until the quinoa is tender about 15 minutes. Turn off the heat, and let the remaining liquid absorb into the quinoa.
• Meanwhile, heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Stir in the garlic, onion, and red bell pepper; cook and stir until the onion has softened and turned translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the asparagus, mushrooms, raisins, and ginger; continue cooking until the asparagus is tender. Stir in the shrimp, and cook until the shrimp have turned pink and are no longer translucent in the center.
• Stir the lemon juice into the quinoa, then toss the quinoa with the shrimp and vegetable mixture. Season to taste with salt and pepper before serving.

• Heat the oil in a large pan and cook the onion for a few minutes with the lid on until it softens.
• Add the quinoa with the paprika, thyme and tomatoes. Cook for 1 minute and then add the boiling water.
• Cook uncovered for about 15 minutes or until most of the water has evaporated.
• Add the seafood mix and put the lid on, cook for about 5 mins. If frozen you may need to add a few minutes.
• Squeeze over 1/2 lemon or a whole one, I personally prefer more than half. Sprinkle the fresh parsley and serve with some extra lemon wedges.

Cook, stirring frequently, until the paste turns brick red and the scallions and celery just begin to soften, about 4 minutes. Add the quinoa and stir to coat in the tomato paste mixture. Pour in 2 cups water and sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon salt and several grinds of pepper. Bring to a high simmer and cook until most of the liquid has evaporated and the quinoa is tender, 12 to 15 minutes.
• Adjust the heat to medium-low, add the shrimp, sprinkle with salt and pepper, cover and cook until the shrimp is firm and cooked through, about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and scatter with the cherry tomato salad.
