It has been a whole since I last posted, but I've been CRAZY busy!! Now that things have slowed down substantially, here's a spicy, awesome dish to make your nose run!
Serves 2 with enough left over to pack for lunch the next day!
Quinoa: prepare quinoa in your favorite way. My simple preparation is 2 cups vegetable (or "No-Chicken) broth to one cup quinoa.
Ingredients:
1 cup onion, chopped
1 cup broccoli, chopped (trees only)
2 roma tomatoes, squeezed and diced
1 can black beans, rinsed
1/2 cup broth
2 tbsp. Cajun Seasoning
12 large shrimp, thawed, tails removed
1-2 tbsp. olive oil (depending on whether or not your pan is non-stick or not)
Hot sauce, to taste
Add oil to your pan and saute broccoli and onions until they start to soften. Then, add black beans and tomatoes and warm them through. I also added about 1/2 cup of broth to the pan, to give the veggies some liquid to simmer in.
In a small bowl, toss 1 tbsp seasoning with shrimp to make sure they're well coated. Then, add shrimp to the vegetable mixture. Add the rest of the seasoning and cook the shrimp through. Some people like their shrimp a little more on the "done" side, some a little more on the raw side.
Put quinoa on your plate, and spoon shrimp mixture on top. Top with a few squirts of hot sauce - my favorite is Frank's Red Hot!
