Instructions

Cook the quinoa
15 minRinse the quinoa and cook, covered, in 400 ml salted water for about 12 minutes, until the water is absorbed.
Sauté the shrimp
4 minBriefly sauté the chopped garlic and chili flakes in the olive oil. Add the shrimp and cook for 2–3 minutes, until they turn pink.
Add the spinach
2 minAdd the spinach and let it wilt, about 1 minute.
Combine and serve
Stir in the quinoa, season with lemon juice and salt, and serve warm.
Tip: Sear the shrimp in a single layer in a hot skillet; crowding them will cause them to release water and steam instead of sear.
