Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 26

For Chimichurri:
1/2 cup flat leaf parsley, finely chopped
1/2 cup cilantro, finely chopped
1/3 cup green onions, finely chopped
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 jalapeƱo, minced
2 tablespoons fresh oregano, minced
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1/8 cup red wine vinegar
Zest of 1 lemon
Juice of 1/2 lemon
3/4 cup olive oil
1/2 teaspoon fresh cracked pepper
Salt to taste
You Will Also Need:
12 ounces jumbo shrimp, cleaned and peeled, uncooked
For Quinoa:
1 cup quinoa, rinsed and drained
1 tablespoon olive oil, plus more for cooking shrimp
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 3/4 cup chicken broth
1/2 teaspoon cumin
1/3 teaspoon smoked paprika
1/3 teaspoon pepper
Salt to taste
Serve this dish with a simple salad of tomatoes, cucumbers and pickled red onions....

Steps:

  • Directions: 1. In a medium bowl, combine all of the ingredients for the chimichurri sauce. Taste for salt. Add 1/3 of the sauce with the cleaned shrimp in another bowl. Cover and marinate in refrigerator for 2 hours. 2. Remove shrimp from refrigerator 20 minutes before cooking time. 3. In a medium pan, add 1 tablespoon of olive oil and heat to medium heat. Add the garlic and cook for 1 to 2 minutes. Add the quinoa that has been rinsed and drained. Add the chicken broth and spices, stir well to combine. Cover,reduce heat to a simmer and cook for 15 to 18 minutes or until all the broth has evaporated. Remove from heat and let stand for 10 minutes. 4. While the quinoa is resting, preheat 2 to 3 tablespoons of olive oil to medium heat for 3 minutes. Add the shrimp to the hot pan, spreading it out evenly so it's not crowded. This will help the shrimp brown nicely and not steam. Cook for just about 2 minutes per side or until pink in color. You may have to cook the shrimp in batches, so transfer the cooked shrimp to the pan with the quinoa while you cook all of the shrimp. Before serving, lightly fluff the quinoa with a fork.

I'll have to try this recipe again. I think I might have used the wrong kind of shrimp.

This recipe was a flop. The shrimp were rubbery and the quinoa was mushy.

The shrimp were a bit overcooked, but the quinoa and chimichurri sauce were delicious.

I was really excited to try this recipe, but I was disappointed with the results. The shrimp were overcooked and the quinoa was bland. The chimichurri sauce was also not very flavorful.

This dish was easy to make and turned out great! The shrimp were succulent and the quinoa was fluffy. The chimichurri sauce was a bit too spicy for my taste, but that's just personal preference.

This chimichurri shrimp and quinoa dish was an absolute delight! The shrimp were cooked to perfection, and the quinoa was fluffy and flavorful. The chimichurri sauce was the perfect finishing touch, adding a tangy and herbaceous flavor to the dish.
