No-Prep Quinoa Shrimp with Peas
If you need a quick meal for a weekday night, this Quinoa Shrimp with peas cooks up in about 15 minutes, and it's gluten-free and nutritious. Quinoa is a very filling, ancient grain from South America and is a complete protein, which means it contains all nine of the essential amino acids for good health. If you want, you can leave out the shrimp, and add a second cooked vegetable in its place. The heat from the quinoa will cook the peas almost immediately - no fuss or muss!
Ingredients
1 cup water
8 ounces cooked frozen shrimp
1 cup frozen peas
1 tablespoon coconut oil
Low-sodium soy sauce, to taste
Directions
While quinoa is cooking, melt coconut oil in skillet and add shrimp. Cook, stirring often, about 5 minutes until shrimp is defrosted and pink. Add shrimp and soy sauce to quinoa mixture and stir. Serve immediately. Refrigerate or freeze unused portion.
