Shrimp Fried Rice " Quinoa"

So Brandon's diet has been going AMAZING!!! He has already lost 15 lbs...I am being super supportive and only cooking things on his diet...so I guess this is kind of forcing me to be healthier too :) I found a great fried rice recipe on pinterest however the diet doesn't allow for rice but it does allow quinoa so I substituted!! Basically this dish was all about dumping into a pot.. super simple and super yummy which of course,we love!

Shopping list

1 1/2 lb deveined shrimp

bag of broccoli florets

three garlic cloves

1/2 chopped yellow onion

1/2 cup frozen peas

1/2 cup frozen corn

1/2 cup of julienned carrots

2 cups cooked quinoa

Procedure

Add your chopped onion and garlic to a pot over med/high heat with a few gluts of olive oil. Let those two sweat for about five minutes before you add all the rest of the veggies. Let those cook down a bit and then add your quinoa and grated ginger ( I bought a fresh ginger root and grated about 1 teaspoon and threw it in there) Salt and pepper the veggies and some soy sauce. Meanwhile, peel your shrimp, salt and pepper them, and in a pan over medium high heat cook until pink ( about three minutes on each side) add your shrimp in the pot of veggies and toss gently...add more spice or soy sauce if you need it. Top with Sirracha and enjoy people!!! So easy and very healthy!!!!! Two things that love in a dinner!
