For the Shrimp

Method

Preparing the Shrimp

  1. 1

    Marinate the Shrimp

    In a large bowl, combine the peeled and deveined shrimp, olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Toss well to coat the shrimp evenly. Cover the bowl and let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes.

  2. 2

    Cook the Shrimp

    Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the marinated shrimp to the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side or until the shrimp are pink and opaque. Remove from heat and set aside.

Preparing the Bowl

  1. 3

    Cook the Quinoa

    In a saucepan, bring the vegetable broth to a boil. Add the quinoa, reduce the heat to low, cover the saucepan, and simmer for about 15 minutes or until the quinoa is fluffy and the broth is absorbed. Remove from heat and let it sit for 5 minutes, then fluff with a fork.

  2. 4

    Assemble the Bowl

    In a large bowl, layer the cooked quinoa, halved cherry tomatoes, diced cucumber, and diced avocado. Top with the cooked shrimp and sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley.
