Garlic Shrimp with Quinoa image

Garlic Shrimp with Quinoa-Easy, quick, and delicious! Healthy recipe with fresh lemon and garlic. Not too spicy with lots of flavor.

Provided by Erin Clarke / Well Plated

Categories     Main Course

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 11

4 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil (divided)
1 pound raw tail-on shrimp (26-30 count, peeled and deveined)
1 teaspoon kosher salt (divided)
1/2 teaspoon chili powder (divided)
1/3 cup finely chopped yellow onion (about half of 1 small onion)
3 cloves garlic (minced (about 1 tablespoon))
1 cup uncooked quinoa
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
2 cups low-sodium chicken broth
1 large lemon
3 tablespoons fresh parsley (plus additional for serving)

Steps:

  • In a large nonstick skillet with a tight-fitting lid, heat 2 teaspoons of the olive oil over medium high.
  • Add the shrimp, then sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon chili powder. Sauté just until the shrimp are pink and cooked through, about 3 minutes. Immediately remove the shrimp to a plate so they do not overcook.
  • Heat the remaining 2 teaspoons olive oil in the same skillet, then add the onion. Let cook until the onion begins to soften, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook just until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
  • Add the quinoa, cayenne, and remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon chili powder. Stir to coat the quinoa with the oil and let brown for 2 minutes.
  • Pour in the chicken stock, then increase the heat to high and bring the broth to a boil. Once boiling, cover and reduce the heat to a simmer. Let simmer until the quinoa is tender, 12 to 15 minutes. Uncover and fluff with a fork.
  • Zest the lemon directly into the pan, then juice the lemon and add the lemon juice and parsley to the skillet as well. Toss to combine, then top with the reserved shrimp. Sprinkle with additional fresh parsley. Serve warm.

5-MINUTE LOW-FAT GARLIC PRAWNS



5-Minute Low-Fat Garlic Prawns image

I came up with this as a quick and easy lunch today. It was tasty, and used no added fats or oils. I used my wok as it is the best non-stick surface I have. Feel free to use any good non-stick pan you have. You could use this on it's own, in a salad, tossed through pasta, or as a topping for grilled steak.

Time 5m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 3

500 g prawns, shelled with tails left on
1/2 cup dry white wine
3 -4 garlic cloves, crushed

Steps:

  • Combine all ingredients in a bowl. You can leave them to sit for a while if you want to, or if pressed for time, the flavours still work just as well if you cook it straight away.
  • Heat wok (or other good non-stick pan) to medium-high heat.
  • Add prawns, wine, and garlic, and stir-fry 4-5 minutes, or until prawns are just cooked through. The tails will be bright pink, and the prawn meat will no longer be translucent.
  • Remove from wok with a slotted spoon and serve immediately.

Tips:

  • To save time, use pre-peeled and deveined shrimp.
  • If you don't have white wine on hand, you can substitute chicken broth or water.
  • For a spicier dish, add a pinch of red pepper flakes or cayenne pepper.
  • If you don't have fresh parsley, you can use dried parsley instead.
  • Serve immediately over rice or noodles or with crusty bread.

Conclusion:

These 5-minute low-fat garlic prawns are a quick and easy weeknight meal that is packed with flavor. The prawns are cooked in a flavorful sauce made with garlic, white wine, lemon juice, and herbs. This dish is low in fat and calories, and it is a good source of protein and omega-3 fatty acids.
