Ingredients

INGREDIENTS

1 lb large shrimp, peeled and deveined
2 tablespoons jerk seasoning
1 cup quinoa
2 cups vegetable broth or water
1 ripe mango, diced
1 red bell pepper, diced
1/4 cup red onion, diced
1 lime, juiced
2 tablespoons olive oil
Salt and pepper to taste
Fresh cilantro for garnish

Instructions

In a bowl, toss the shrimp with jerk seasoning until well coated.
Heat a grill or non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add olive oil and cook the shrimp for 2-3 minutes on each side until pink and cooked through. Remove from heat.
Rinse quinoa under cold water and then combine with vegetable broth in a saucepan. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer and cover for 15 minutes or until liquid is absorbed. Fluff with a fork.
In a large mixing bowl, combine cooked quinoa, diced mango, red bell pepper, red onion, and lime juice. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
To serve, layer the quinoa mixture in bowls, top with grilled shrimp, and garnish with fresh cilantro.

Notes

Tip: You can grill the shrimp outdoors for an added smoky flavor. Serve with lime wedges for an extra zing!

When making the jerk marinade, feel free to adjust the amount of scotch bonnet pepper based on your heat preference. For a milder option, consider using jalapeño instead.

Leftover shrimp can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat gently to maintain its tenderness, or enjoy it cold on salads! Pair this dish with a sprinkle of fresh cilantro for an added burst of flavor.
