This Shrimp Fried Quinoa makes a delicious weeknight dinner!
With a great mix of frozen and fresh ingredients, this recipe is a light and refreshing spin on traditional takeout-style fried rice and is also great for meal prep.
Heinen’s frozen organic spelt & quinoa makes a great base. My family likes to toss in a few frozen peas too, but you can add as many frozen or fresh vegetables as you like.
