Quinoa and shrimp salad
Description
For preparing quinoa and shrimp salad, you can use either white or red quinoa. By the way, it looks very impressive when you mix both types of quinoa. My shrimp were fresh-frozen but not pre-cooked, so I sautéed them. You can drizzle the finished salad with lemon juice.
