Method

1. 1Place the quinoa in a fine-mesh sieve and rinse it well under running water, then set aside.
2. 2Set a skillet over the heat with the teaspoon of olive oil and the finely minced garlic.
3. 3Once it starts turning golden, add the frozen peeled prawns.
4. 4Right after, add the finely chopped red pepper, green pepper, and onion, letting everything cook thoroughly.
5. 5Season to taste with salt and pepper.
6. 6When the veggies are nice and tender, add ground cayenne to taste (you can also use a couple of dried chili peppers).
7. 7Add the quinoa along with the 2 cups of water, cover, and let simmer over low heat for 15 minutes.
8. 8Once the time is up, uncover, add the gulas, toss everything together well, and let it cook for a couple more minutes.
9. 9Done! Our SPICY PRAWN QUINOA is ready to serve.

Notes & Extras

1. 1If the liquid reduces too fast, splash in a little more water as needed. The pan should end up with no liquid left, so cook uncovered during the last few minutes to allow any remaining water to evaporate.
2. 2You can also make this using pre-cooked, drained quinoa. In that case, instead of adding quinoa and water, simply stir in the cooked quinoa and sauté everything together well so the flavors mingle.
