Ingredients

  • 3 cups water
  • cups quinoa
  • ¾ teaspoon salt
  • tablespoons rice vinegar
  • 1/3 cup organic mayonnaise
  • 1 tablespoon + 1 teaspoon lime juice
  • 1 tablespoon tamari
  • ¼ teaspoon ground cayenne
  • 2 sheets nori
  • tablespoons toasted sesame oil
  • 1 pound shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 4 large garlic cloves, minced
  • 3 tablespoons minced ginger
  • 2 ounces arugula
  • ½ medium cucumber, seeded and medium diced (about 1 cup)
  • 1 avocado, diced
  • 1 tablespoon sesame seeds, for garnish

Instructions

  • Bring water to a boil in a medium saucepan. Add quinoa and salt, cover, and reduce to a simmer. Cook 20 minutes, until water is absorbed. Turn off heat and steam with lid on for 5 minutes. Add rice vinegar and fluff with a fork.
  • Meanwhile, prepare spicy mayo by whisking mayonnaise, lime juice, tamari and cayenne in a small bowl. Season to taste.
  • Using scissors, slice nori into ½-inch strips. Stack together and cut into ½-inch squares. Stir half of the sliced nori into quinoa once it is cooked.
  • Heat sesame oil in a large sauté pan over medium-high heat. Add shrimp, and cook about 2 minutes on each side, until pink and no longer opaque. Stir in garlic, ginger and a pinch of salt, and cook for 1 minute more, until fragrant.
  • To assemble, divide quinoa into 4 bowls. Top with shrimp, a nest of arugula, cucumbers and avocado. Drizzle with mayo, and garnish with remaining nori and sesame seeds.

  1. Hi! If you are a student and it is difficult for you to cope with essay writing, I recommend you to use https://ca.essayservice.com/pay-for-essay to Canadian writers. I recently used their services and was pleasantly surprised by the quality of work. They always deliver on time and the quality of their essays is top notch. This site has made my studies much easier!

  2. Playing online is really great and it makes it so playing on quality online sites, for example, there is such a site from India as – https://1win.biz.in/. this is where I spend most of my free time and I really like it, because the game is really something with something our friends from India tried very hard on this site!
