Ingredients Needed
- 1 cup quinoa

- 1 red bell pepper, diced
- 1 small red onion, chopped
- 1 lime, juiced
- 2 tablespoons olive oil

Preparing the Quinoa
Start by rinsing the quinoa thoroughly under cold water. In a medium saucepan, combine 1 cup of quinoa with 2 cups of water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 15 minutes or until the water is absorbed. Fluff with a fork and set aside.
Sautéing the Shrimp
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Season the shrimp with salt and pepper. Add the shrimp to the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes per side until pink and opaque. Remove from heat and set aside.
Making the Mango Salsa
In a bowl, combine diced mango, red bell pepper, red onion, and lime juice. Mix well. Add chopped cilantro and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as needed. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 10 minutes to allow flavors to meld.
Assembling the Quinoa Bowl
Divide the cooked quinoa into bowls. Top with sautéed shrimp and generous spoonfuls of mango salsa. Garnish with extra cilantro if desired. Serve immediately for a fresh, vibrant seafood feast.
