Scale

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 lime, juiced
  • 1 cup cooked quinoa

  • 1/2 cup red onion, diced
  • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
  • 1/4 cup feta cheese, crumbled (optional)
  • Extra lime wedges for serving

Instructions

  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, smoked paprika, cumin, salt, black pepper, and lime juice. Whisk until well combined.
  2. Add shrimp to the bowl, ensuring each shrimp is coated in the marinade. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
  3. Rinse quinoa under cold water in a fine-mesh strainer.
  4. In a medium saucepan, combine rinsed quinoa with 2 cups of water (or vegetable broth). Bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
  5. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 15 minutes, or until water is absorbed.
  6. Remove from heat and let sit, covered, for an additional 5 minutes. Fluff with a fork and set aside.
  7. Preheat grill to medium-high heat. Soak wooden skewers in water if using.
  8. Thread marinated shrimp onto skewers, leaving space between each.
  9. Grill skewers for 2-3 minutes on each side, until shrimp are pink and opaque. Remove from grill and let rest.
  10. In a serving bowl, add a scoop of cooked quinoa as the base.
  11. Layer grilled shrimp skewers on top, or remove shrimp and place directly on quinoa.
  12. Add cherry tomatoes, avocado, corn, red onion, and cilantro.
  13. Optionally, sprinkle with feta cheese and serve with lime wedges.
