Instructions

1 Combine 1 cup uncooked quinoa,, 2 cup chicken or vegetable broth or stock, a
pinch of ½ teaspoon salt and ¼ teaspoon black pepper, and ½ teaspoon dry mustard
in a pot, and cook according to package directions, about 15 minutes.
2 When quinoa is fully cooked, stir in ½ cup plain Greek yogurt and 1 cup shredded
cheddar cheese.
3 While the quinoa is cooking, prepare 1 pound broccoli florets and 1 ½ pounds raw
shrimp,. For the broccoli, place a steamer basket in a pot and add about an inch
of water. Add the broccoli and bring to a simmer over medium heat. Steam for 5-6
minutes or to desired doneness. Remove from the heat.
4 For the shrimp, heat the 1 teaspoon olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add
the shrimp to the pan, and cook about 2 minutes per side, or until shrimp is
pink and nearly cooked through.
5 Pour the ¼ cup barbecue sauce over the shrimp and toss to coat. Cook for another
minute or two, until shrimp is cooked through.
6 Divide quinoa between four bowls. Top with broccoli and shrimp, and additional
barbecue sauce, if desired.
