Juicy plump shrimp meets superfood quinoa in this light Shrimp Quinoa Salad tossed with an easy Asian dressing.
If you don’t know yet, quinoa (pronounced ‘keen-wah’) is all the hype now. Besides being wheat-free, this grain-like crop is by far the best alternative to our starchy staples.
Like rice and couscous, quinoa also has a subtle, slightly nutty flavour, making it easy to pair with almost anything. Once cooked, it has a fluffy and creamy texture with a slight crunch.
Quinoa contains all nine essential amino acids making it a complete source of protein. It also contains Vitamins B and E and is a good source of fibre. So time to switch out that bag of rice with this quick and easy-to-cook grain, starting with this Asian Shrimp Quinoa Salad recipe!
