    Need a mid-day pick-me-up to beat the afternoon slump? Looking for a healthy and delicious yet satisfying dinner? Try this Shrimp Quinoa Bowl with Mixed Veggies!

    Shrimp Quinoa Bowl with Mixed Veggies recipe on UrbanBlissLife.com

    As a food blogger, I tend to have a fairly open palette. I'll try almost anything and have come to enjoy most foods. Cooking for my family and cooking for myself/this blog, however, are sometimes separate things.

    For instance, one of my favorite foods in the whole world is shrimp. I love how it's a light, lean, delicious way to get my protein in, and how versatile it is. Shrimp has a way of soaking up spices and flavors that just makes me go crazy. I LOVE shrimp! However, I am the only person in my family who eats shrimp. Same goes for quinoa. Oh, my husband will eat it once in a while, but for the most part, he stays away from both quinoa and shrimp.

    So this dish today, dear friends, is mine all mine. And now, yours too!

    Shrimp Quinoa Bowl with Mixed Veggies

    Shrimp and Veggie Quinoa Bowl

    This shrimp quinoa bowl is one that comes together fairly quickly. This makes it an excellent choice for lunch or dinner.

    It's hearty enough to be the main dish, but you could also make this as a side dish for a large dinner party.

    What's in my Shrimp Quinoa Bowl?

        I'm sure it's an oversight, but there's not actually any shrimp listed in the ingredients list. How much shrimp?

          Ha! Erick, thank you for catching that! It must have somehow got deleted during an edit. I added it back :) I use 1 cup but really, you can put in however much shrimp you like -- or just a few pieces of shrimp if you prefer. Thank you!

        Wonderful recipe! I really like how quinoa is a gluten-free, protein-rich grain.
