I always stock up on frozen shrimp when it is on sale and keep a bag in the freezer. It is just one of those meals that is quick to defrost and throw together when you are busy running around all day. Plus, it is easy to cook healthy and have your family love it. That is what I call a win-win!
Ingredients:
1 cup quinoa cooked (use package direction)
1 lb shrimp (peeled)
3 cups of mixed veggies (I used carrots, green beans, and cabbage)
1 cup peppers chopped
3 cloves garlic minced
½ c. onion chopped
½ c. pineapple chopped
1 apple chopped
¼ c. honey
1 tbl ginger
½ tbl paprika
2 tbl Dr. Braggs All Purpose Seasoning and Soy Sauce
1/3 cup rice wine vinegar
Cook quinoa according to package, set aside. Prepare the sauce by sautéing the peppers and onions in 1 tbl extra virgin olive oil or coconut oil until onions are translucent. Add garlic and saute for one minute to roast it. Add pineapple and apple and saute for another 2-3 minutes to caramelize the sugars. Add remaining ingredients and whisk to ensure the honey is completely dissolved. Gather your shrimp and veggies and steam over boiling water for 6-10 minutes until the shrimp are pink and the veggies are soft but firm.
