Directions

Bring 2 cups water and 1 cup uncooked quinoa to a boil in a saucepan.

Refrigerate until cool.

This step can be done the day before

Heat ½ tablespoon coconut oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium high heat.

Place cooked shrimp on a plate and set aside

Add remaining coconut oil into the same skillet.

Sauté onion, garlic, and ginger until fragrant, about 4-5 minutes.

Add the frozen veggies and cook until heated through.

Add in cooked quinoa and shrimp then add in tamari, sesame oil, and chili sauce.


Cook and stir until evenly coated, about 2 minutes.

Make a well in the center of the quinoa mixture.

Pour eggs into the well; cook and stir until eggs are scrambled and cooked through, about 2-3 minutes.

Divide the dish between 4 plates and garish with cilantro and a little sriracha, if using.
