After reading several blog posts from Tigerfish-Teczcape about quinoa, and said several times this is something I wanted to try, I finally bought the quinoa and made my first quinoa dish. Oh yeah, it took me a long time but better late than never right? I made this after a week trip to San Francisco and San Jose areas and back home with no mood to cook. Haha... Who can blame me as I was so spoil with choices and easy excess to authentic Chinese food while in SF and SJ. Now back home and back to cooking!
My shrimps quinoa salad and I hope you like it. I wanted a flavorful quinoa so I cooked it in chicken stock. Added frozen peas and carrots because I wanted more veggies (cook it with the quinoa). After it is done, I added fresh romaine lettuce, sunflower seeds, raisins and pan-fried spiced shrimps and mixed all together. Later, I regretted that I didn't add a can of black beans into the mix. So, feel free to add some beans (whatever bean you like). This makes a great picnic food too as it's good eaten at room-temperature.
If you are still thinking of what to make for 4th of July, this can be a great healthy recipe for you!
