  • 1 lb large shrimp, peeled and deveined

Method
 

  1. Combine 1 cup of rinsed quinoa with 2 cups of water or broth in a saucepan. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat, cover, and simmer for about 15 minutes, or until water is absorbed. Fluff with a fork.
  2. In a small bowl or jar, combine the olive oil, fresh lime juice, chopped cilantro, minced garlic, and optional honey. Whisk or shake until well combined. Season with salt and pepper.
  3. Pat the shrimp dry. Toss with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add shrimp and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, until pink and opaque.
  4. Divide the cooked quinoa among four bowls. Top with the seasoned shrimp, sliced avocado, black beans, corn, cherry tomatoes, and red onion. Drizzle with the cilantro-lime dressing and serve immediately.

Notes

Don't Overcook the Shrimp: Remove them from the heat as soon as they turn pink and curl into a 'C' shape.
Rinse Your Quinoa: Rinsing quinoa removes its natural bitter coating.
Avocado Freshness: Slice avocado just before serving and add a squeeze of lime juice to prevent browning.
