Ingredients
- 1 cup + 2 tablespoons uncooked quinoa
4 ounces peeled raw shrimp
1 clove garlic, minced
Pinch red pepper flakes (optional)
2 teaspoons olive oil
1 1/2 cups arugula
1/2 cup grape tomatoes, halved
2 teaspoons balsamic vinegar
Directions
- Combine quinoa with 2 cups water. Bring mixture to a boil, then turn down to a simmer and cook covered for 12 minutes, or until quinoa is tender. Fluff with a fork.
- While quinoa is cooking, heat 1 teaspoon olive oil in a medium sauté pan and add red pepper flakes. Add shrimp and garlic and cook until shrimp are pink and cooked through, about 1 1/2 minutes each side.
- Remove shrimp, then add arugula and tomatoes and sauté until arugula is just wilted and tomatoes are soft. Add shrimp back to the pan, along with balsamic vinegar. Toss to coat and cook an additional minute to let ingredients blend.
