Ingredients (for 1 serving)

  • 100 grams Shrimp (peeled)
  • 2 tsp Olive Oil
  • 0.5 tsp Dried Oregano
  • 0.5 tsp Dried Parsley
  • 0.5 medium Red Bell Pepper
  • 0.5 medium Yellow Bell Pepper
  • 40 grams Quinoa
  • 1 Garlic Clove
  • 60 ml Chicken Stock
  • 0.5 tsp Lemon Zest

Preparation

Step 1: Take out a bowl and mix shrimps with ½ the olive oil, the dried herbs, and a little salt and pepper.
Step 2: Place your quinoa in a pot with twice the amount of water, and heat over a medium temperature to cook.
Step 3: Chop the garlic and set aside. Then, slice the bell pepper into thin slices and heat the remaining olive oil in a pan next to the cooking quinoa.
Step 4: Lightly fry the bell pepper for about 4 minutes, or until the sides are slightly browned. Then, remove from the pan and set aside.
Step 5: In the same pan, over the same heat, cook the shrimp mix for 3-4 minutes, stirring frequently until cooked through.
Step 6: Add the cooked quinoa to the shrimp pan, along with the garlic, and allow all to get toasty for about 1 minute.
Step 7: Pour in the chicken stock and bring that delightful mix to a simmer for about 6 minutes.
Step 8: Add in the bell pepper, the lemon zest, a squeeze of lemon juice and bring to cook for another 3 – 5 minutes.
Step 9: Garnish with the fresh basil leaves and serve up!
