Menu Monday - Spicy Shrimp, Broccoli & Quinoa

Now, if you know me, you know that I am pretty much a disaster in the kitchen, but there are a few staples that I love to make & that are super easy (because I just can't do complicated).

INGREDIENTS:

  • 1/4 cup dry quinoa
  • 2 1/2 cups fresh or frozen broccoli
  • 1 serving of fresh or frozen shrimp (you can also substitute by using chicken, steak, tempeh, tofu, etc.
  • Old Bay Seasoning (optional)
METHOD:
  • Prepare quinoa as directed on box. If you're making this spicy and using Old Bay, you'll want to add the seasoning directly to the water and stir well as your quinoa is cooking. 
  • Steam broccoli
  • In a pan, cook your shrimp (or other meat) and sprinkle a little Old Bay on top of that too for an extra kick.
Once everything is done, mix together in a bowl & you have a super easy & healthy lunch!
