Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup dry quinoa, rinsed
  • 2 cups water
  • 1 lb large shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • ½ tsp salt
  • Black pepper
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 2 large handfuls baby spinach
  • 3 tbsp tahini
  • 3 tbsp fresh lemon juice
  • 2 to 3 tbsp warm water

Method
 

  1. Bring water to a boil, add quinoa and a pinch of salt, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes. Fluff with a fork.
  2. Toss shrimp with oil, garlic, ¼ tsp salt, and pepper. Sear in a hot skillet for 2 to 3 minutes per side.
  3. Whisk tahini, lemon juice, 2 tbsp warm water, and ¼ tsp salt until smooth; thin with more water if needed.
  4. Divide quinoa into bowls, top with shrimp, tomatoes, spinach, and drizzle with dressing. Toss and serve warm.

Notes

If meal prepping, keep the dressing separate until you’re ready to eat so the greens stay crisp. The quinoa can be made a day ahead and chilled.
