Ingredients
Preparation
Step 1
It's best to use langoustines or king prawns for this recipe, but regular shrimp work too. Defrost at room temperature.
Step 2
Remove the heads and shells. Also remove the vein along the back. Rinse the shrimp and pat dry with paper towels. Place in a bowl.
Step 3
Season with ground black pepper, a pinch of salt, and dried thyme. You can also use garlic powder (or a clove of fresh garlic) and dried basil or oregano. Add 1 tablespoon of olive oil, mix well, and let marinate for 10-15 minutes.
Step 4
Meanwhile, cook quinoa in salted water according to package instructions. For 150 g of quinoa, use about 1¼ cups (300 ml) of water and simmer for 15 minutes.
Step 5
Rinse radishes, lettuce leaves, and cherry tomatoes, then pat dry. Slice radish into thin rounds, quarter the tomatoes, and shred the lettuce as desired.
Step 6
Season the vegetables with salt, pepper, and 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Mix well.
Step 7
Heat 1 more tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet. Add the shrimp and cook while stirring for 3-5 minutes until just cooked through. Do not overcook!
Step 8
Now assemble the bowl: place quinoa at the bottom of a deep plate.
Step 9
On one side, arrange the cooked shrimp.
Step 10
Rinse and halve an avocado, remove the peel, and slice. Add the slices to the bowl. Then place the radish and tomato salad next to it.
Step 11
Drizzle everything with lemon juice and sprinkle with sesame seeds.
Step 12
Your shrimp bowl is ready to serve!
