A light yet fulfilling dish featuring shrimp, quinoa, and fresh Mediterranean vegetables, drizzled with lemon juice and topped with feta cheese.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup quinoa
  • 1 lb shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cucumber, diced
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1/2 red onion, thinly sliced
  • 1/2 cup briny olives, pitted and sliced
  • 1/2 cup feta cheese, crumbled
  • Juice of 1 lemon
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Cook the quinoa: Start by cooking the quinoa according to package instructions. It usually takes about 15 minutes. Once it’s fluffy, set it aside.
  2. Sauté the garlic: In a skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute.
  3. Cook the shrimp: Toss in the shrimp, season with salt and pepper, and cook until they turn pink and firm, about 4-5 minutes.
  4. Mix the bowl: In a large bowl, combine the cooked quinoa, diced cucumber, halved cherry tomatoes, sliced red onion, olives, and crumbled feta.
  5. Top it off: Place the sautéed shrimp on top of the salad.
  6. Dress and serve: Drizzle with fresh lemon juice, give everything a gentle toss to combine, and serve warm or chilled.

Notes

Ensure the shrimp are cooked until just pink to avoid overcooking. Use fresh ingredients for the best flavor.
