1 ½ cups chicken broth

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 red bell pepper, diced

8 spears fresh asparagus, trimmed and cut into 1 inch pieces

Instructions
-
In a saucepan, bring the quinoa and chicken broth to a boil over high heat. Once boiling, lower the heat to medium-low, cover, and let it simmer until the quinoa is soft, about 15 minutes. Turn off the heat and let the remaining liquid absorb into the quinoa.
-
While the quinoa cooks, heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the garlic, onion, and red bell pepper, and sauté until the onion softens and becomes translucent, about 5 minutes. Then add the asparagus, mushrooms, raisins, and ginger, and cook until the asparagus is tender. Add the shrimp and cook until they turn pink and opaque in the center.
-
Once the quinoa is ready, stir in the lemon juice and mix it with the shrimp and vegetable medley. Season with salt and pepper to taste before serving.
