Charred Shrimp, Pesto & Quinoa Bowls

I didn't let the quinoa cool before mixing with the arugula, so the greens were cooked. Still good, not as fresh tasting as intended perhaps. I think this needs more veggies. I added cucumber and would add peppers and maybe some red onion if I made it again.

Not a big fan of quinoa, so I substituted farro and it was delicious! Bonus, it does not significantly change the calorie count. Super easy and quick. Definitely making this again.

Me and my boyfriend loved this one! After a couple bites he said “you have to make this again” I followed a recipe for cooking quinoa that made it very good and fluffy then I topped the quinoa with a tablespoon of olive oil and a clove of garlic and mixed that in before I used it in the recipe. It was perfect!

Yum! I made this 2 weeks in a row, once as written and once with some cooked garlicky kale to supplement the leftover arugula.

Absolutely delicious! I added 50% more shrimp because I wanted more protein. Also subbed or arugula for baby spinach. So good I ate it again for lunch the next day

Simple and yummy great for packing in a lunch

This recipe is really good and easy to prepare.

I made this for us last night. It was excellent! Only thing is I couldn’t get a “char” on my shrimp without overcooking, so they were just cooked on iron skillet. I emulsified my balsamic & EVOO before incorporating it into the pesto. I also squeezed fresh lemon over the top right when we sat down to eat. Soooo fast, easy, and amazing especially if you’ve already got quinoa made. I will use more arugula next time.

The first time we made this we forgot the arugula. It was still wonderful! It's bursting with flavor and easy to make. We swap the quinoa for the Uncle Ben's whole grain medley wild rice in the microwave pouches and this makes it very fast and easy. Even our grandchildren, ages 3,4, &5 love this dish!

Fantastic recipe! Easy and delicious. Thank you--will be using this again for sure.

Healthy, tasty, and really easy to make. I subbed spinach for the arugala.

I made this with broiled tilapia instead of shrimp because that's what I had. I added a can of chickpeas, and squeezed fresh lime over the top. It tasted really fresh and delicious. I'm looking forward to trying it again, this time with shrimp.

This was not great. Could have been the basil pesto I chose.

Delicious and very easy to make. My family loved it as well. This is a keeper!

This meal is so easy and so good. I added fresh squeezed lemon to shrimp and fresh chopped cucumbers from my garden!
