Lemon Confetti Quinoa & Shrimp

Quinoa is one of my favorite foods to cook.  It is consindered a  

     superfood & it is a whole grain that is a complete protein  Quinoa  is

 gluten-free & makes a great addition to soups, side dishes or even

     an exciting main dish, like this Lemon Confetti Quinoa & Shrimp

     dish.  Confetti is my version of a medley of seasonal & colorful

     veggies that are diced fine & added to this quinoa dish, rice or

     even small pasta salads.  Quinoa is a newcomer to most, & if you

     are not familiar with it, it may come be a little intimidating to work 

     with.  Never fear ~ it is as simple to cook as it is to cook rice.

     The only trick is to measure out the amount of quinoa that

 you are going to use & rinse it under cold running water

 before you cook it.    I will add chicken, seafood or  beef

stock  instead of  water, to add flavor to the quinoa.

 Then just add your protein and/or veggies.

Enjoy
