Peach Mango Shrimp Quinoa

Feb 25

I can never go to Costco by myself. Do not let me do it. When I am by myself at Costco, no one tells me that we don’t need all the extra things I put in my cart. And no one stops me from eating every single taste test and then buying a couple of these said taste tests.

I left the store with an overflowing carts and lots of stuff we didn’t need. But that doesn’t mean I haven’t made good use of it. One such example is the world’s biggest container of peach-mango salsa. Great salsa but even better as a sauce with shrimp and quinoa. Yum!

Ingredients

1 cup quinoa
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 onion, chopped
1 pound frozen shrimp, uncooked
2 cups peach-mango salsa

Servings: 6-8
Difficulty: easy

Directions

Cook quinoa according to package instructions.

At the same time, heat skillet over medium-high heat. Spray with cooking spray. Add garlic and cook until starting to brown. Add and cook onions and shrimp, until the shrimp is pink. Add peach-mango salsa.

When qunioa is done, add to skillet and mix well.

This is an interesting combination for quinoa, and one I wouldn’t have thought of. we really like it on our house, and have found it’s a great alternative to rice. Thanks for sharing!
