Shrimp, avocado, and quinoa salad makes a filling lunch: cook and cool the quinoa, briefly sauté the shrimp with garlic, then combine with vegetables and lemon dressing. Avocado adds creaminess, and quinoa makes the salad satisfying even without bread.

Instructions

Tip: tap a step to mark it as done.

  1. Cook the quinoa

    15 min

    Rinse the quinoa thoroughly in a strainer under cold water to remove bitterness. Cook, covered, in 300 ml salted water for about 12 minutes, until all the water is absorbed. Let cool.

  2. Sauté the shrimp

    5 min

    Pat the shrimp dry. Sauté the chopped garlic in 1 tbsp oil, then add the shrimp and cook for 2–3 minutes, until pink and opaque throughout. Season with salt.

  3. Prepare the vegetables and dressing

    10 min

    Halve the tomatoes, dice the cucumber and avocado, and thinly slice the onion. Whisk the remaining oil with the lemon juice, salt, and pepper.

  4. Assemble the salad

    Toss the quinoa with the vegetables, avocado, and dressing. Arrange the shrimp on top and sprinkle with parsley. Serve immediately.

Tip: Cut the avocado just before serving and drizzle it with lemon juice right away to prevent browning. Thaw frozen shrimp overnight in the refrigerator.
