For an extra layer of flavor, toast the quinoa in a dry pan for a few minutes before cooking. Feel free to substitute your favorite vegetables. Zucchini, yellow squash, or spinach would all be delicious additions. If serving cold, consider adding a squeeze of lemon juice just before serving to brighten the flavors. Make sure not to overcook the shrimp, as they will become rubbery. Try adding a pinch of red pepper flakes for a hint of spice.
