The beauty of this dish is really in the simplicity of it. It's so quick and minimal ingredients. Of course the key is to finding or already having a good quality brand of Teriyaki that you love. I used to shy away from using already prepared sauces when I felt like I could do better by making my own... BUT that was before I had kids. Now I truly appreciate and am willing to spend a little more on a brand that I find tasty and half of the work is already done for me.
This recipe is also great for those who want to plan out and pre-package their meals for the week too!
Ingredients:
1 cup quinoa
2 lbs broccoli, stalks removed and chopped into tiny trees
1 package frozen Edamame (thawed)
1 package frozen medium shrimp (thawed)
3/4 cup of your favorite Teriyaki (I like the Kikkoman brand)
Steam broccoli with a colander set over a pot of boiling water. Cover and steam for 7-10 mins; set aside. Cook quinoa according to package instructions; set aside.
Drizzle a 2 tbsp of olive oil in a large non-stick pan with a lid. Add the Edamame, put the lid on and let soften 3-4 minutes. Uncover and add 2 Tbsp butter, sprinkle in some salt and pepper then add the shrimp. Cook until opaque, stirring every so often, for 3-4 minutes. Add the Teriyaki (to taste) and heat through. Serve on a bed of quinoa. Enjoy!
