How to prepare the Quinoa salad and shrimps

Step 1: Cook quinoa
Start by rinsing the quinoa under cold water. This removes bitterness. Then cook the quinoa in a pan with 400 ml of water. Bring to the boil and let it simmer for 15 minutes on low heat until all the water has been absorbed. Remove from heat and let it sit for 5 minutes with the lid on the pan.

Step 2: Make the quinoa salad
In a large bowl, combine the cooked quinoa with the cucumber cubes, red pepper, cherry tomatoes, and feta. Add the parsley and sprinkle with the lemon juice and olive oil. Season with salt and pepper. Mix everything together well.

Step 3: Grilling shrimp
Heat a grill pan over medium heat. In a bowl, toss the shrimp with the olive oil, garlic, lemon juice, salt, pepper, and paprika. Grill the shrimp for 2-3 minutes per side, until pink and cooked through. Serve the shrimp on top of the quinoa salad with lemon wedges on the side.
