This is about as simple as it gets. It's also really tasty, and nutritious! I came up with this base recipe over the past few days, and am sure I'll be tinkering with it.


  • 1 cup quinoa
  • 1 cup and a smidgen extra vegetable stock (I'm sure other types of soup stock would also work well)
  • 3/4 cup frozen shrimp
  • feta cheese
  • pasta sauce


Dump the quinoa, stock, and shrimp into a rice steamer. Turn it on. (If you have the timed kind, 45 minutes does the trick.) When it's done, mix it all up with crumbled feta cheese and pasta sauce to taste.

That's it. This makes about two servings.

You can also add veggies into the steamer with the quinoa.

Mm-mm good!

Fambly doesn't like shrimp, and I do want to introduce them to quinoa... think this would work with chicken? I think probably, but probably not pork.

Yes, I've had it with chicken, and that's good, too. I cooked the chicken separately and then added it, though.

Well, you're off to a start. Just continue, and you might get a finish, too.

Sounds delicious! Is the frozen shrimp pre-cooked?
