- Cook the quinoa: Bring broth to a boil in a medium heavy pot. Rinse quinoa under cold water and drain well. Add quinoa, lower the heat to low and cook, covered, for 20 to 25 minutes. Turn off heat and let rest, covered, for 5 minutes. Fluff with a fork.

- Heat a grill pan or heavy skillet over high heat. When hot, spray with oil and add the shrimp. Cook 2 to 3 minutes on each side.
