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.

dice onion.
Mince the garlic.
fry the bacon until cooked crispy but not too crispy.

begin to place the fresh spinach onto the desired size dishes that are being used to serve the meal.
take the chicken and place accordingly on the plate.
serve the couscous.
and be sure to add some more Parmesan cheese and also the cashews and enjoy!
Notes
and you can always add the tofu if desired but considering the fact that there is actual meat in this dish it is optional but it actually brings out more of the classy side of eating a really delicious healthy meal so i would definitely consider adding after making the dish a couple of times and make sure that you get the honest approval from those of whom you are preparing this dish for before adding the tofu because not everyone will want it so if there is a mixed opinion make it in a separate dish and anyone that does want to add it in can do so according to their desired experience.
