Ingredients
For the Quinoa:
- 2 cups vegetable broth chicken broth, or water
- 1 cup quinoa rinsed and drained
- 1 clove garlic minced
- 2 tablespoons lime juice fresh
- salt to taste
- black pepper to taste
For The Toppings:
- 2 tablespoons olive oil divided
- 12 oz. Shrimp marinated and cooked
- 1 zucchini chopped into bite-sized pieces, medium
- 1 yellow summer squash chopped into bite-sized pieces
- 1 red bell pepper chopped
- 1 cup corn kernels
- 1 avocado diced
- lime juice for garnish, extra
- cilantro for garnish, fresh
Instructions
Prepare the Quinoa:
- In a large pot, bring broth (or water) and quinoa to a boil. Reduce heat to low, cover, and cook until liquid is absorbed and quinoa is tender (about 15 minutes). Remove from heat, keep the pot covered, and let stand for 5 minutes. Fluff with a fork and stir in garlic, lime juice, salt and pepper (to taste).
- While the quinoa is cooking, prepare shrimp according to recipe (or package) instructions.
- In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat. Sauté zucchini, squash, bell pepper, and corn for 3-4 minutes, or until the veggies are just crisp-tender (but not mushy). Season with salt and pepper, to taste.
To assemble bowls:
- Fill individual bowls with prepared quinoa. Top with shrimp and veggies. Garnish with diced avocado. Squeeze fresh lime juice over the bowls, garnish with cilantro (if desired), and serve.

- Asian-inspired flavors like Honey Garlic or Honey Sesame pair well with vegetables like broccoli, mushrooms, and green beans. Top with a sweet teriyaki sauce, a drizzle of soy sauce, or your favorite chili sauce.
- Citrusy flavors like lemon and lime pair well with summer vegetables like squash, zucchini, green onions, or red onion. Top with a creamy dressing, such as a green goddess dressing or creamy avocado dressing.
- For Mexican flavor, use juicy cherry tomatoes, avocado, red bell pepper, and black beans. Top with sour cream or pico de gallo.
- If you like dressing and want your quinoa bowl to have more flavor, top it with a homemade vinaigrette! Try a lemon vinaigrette,Dijon vinaigrette, or a citrus vinaigrette.
- Fresh parsley and cilantro make the perfect garnish. They're bright, flavorful, and complement the freshness of the vegetables.
