Unsaved Seafood Paella Style Quinoa

Ingredients

  • 3 tbsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil, divided use
  • 1 cup Red onions, finely diced
  • 2 tsp Garlic, minced
  • 1 1/2 cups Central Market Quick Cook Quinoa Grains, rinsed and drained
  • 3 cups Low Sodium Chicken Broth
  • 2 tbsp H-E-B "That Green Sauce"
  • 1 Large tilapia fillet, cut into bites sized squares
  • 8 Medium argentine peeled & peveined shrimp 21/30 ct., (about 1/2 pound)
  • 1/2 cup Fresh Pico De Gallo

Instructions

  1. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add half of oil and all the onions and garlic to pan. Stir and cook 2 to 3 minutes or until onions start to soften.
  2. Add quinoa, broth and green sauce to pan. Stir to combine. Bring to a simmer, cover, reduce heat to medium and cook 10 minutes.
  3. Add tilapia, shrimp and pico de gallo to pan. Cover again and steam 4 to 5 minutes or until seafood is cooked through, but not rubbery.
  4. Remove lid, drizzle with remaining oil and increase heat to high for 3 to 4 minutes, just long enough to toast the quinoa lightly on the bottom. Serve immediately.
  5. Garnish with fresh cilantro and more green sauce if desired.
