Quinoa with Shrimp


Ingredients:
2 tablespoon of coconut oil
1 teaspoon garlic, crushed
¼ onion, chopped
½ pound wild caught shrimp
½ teaspoon cumin
1 cup quinoa
1 1/4 cup vegetable broth (low sodium or homemade). You could use water instead (just add more salt, pepper, cumin and other herbs)
1/2 teaspoon of sea salt or salt to taste
1 tablespoon lemon juice (optional)
1 tablespoon cilantro, chopped
*If you would like to spice it up add ½ jalapeno pepper, chopped (optional.)

Directions:
1. Heat coconut oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the oil, garlic, onion and jalapeno (optional), stirring frequently for 1-2 minute.
2. Add shrimp, cumin and salt; stir and cook for another 1-2 min.
3. Stir in quinoa, vegetable broth or water, lemon juice and salt. Bring to a boil and cover, reduce heat and simmer until quinoa is cooked through, about 25 minutes or until the liquid is fully absorbed. Remove from heat, stir in cilantro (if desired). Serve and enjoy
