Gluten-free, protein-packed, an absolutely incredible vehicle for flavour – sure it’s no wonder why hipsters guzzle down quinoa by the bucketload.
It tastes delicious with these chilli prawns and basil pesto – so give this super-simple recipe a go, then buy a few lumberjack shirts, grow a beard and refuse to wear shoes.
Lovely.

Instructions
Step 1
Stick the prawns in a bowl with the garlic, shallot, red chilli and olive oil.
Step 2
Give it a good stir, cover it up with cling film and let it marinate for 10 minutes, drawing in alllll those flavours.
Step 3
Meanwhile, bring a large pan of salted water to the boil. Pour the quinoa into the pan and cook for 10-12 minutes, then drain the quinoa well and place it in a bowl.
Step 4
Pour in the pesto, mix it all up with a fork and set aside.
Step 5
Heat a large sauté pan over a high heat and add the marinated prawns. Sauté for 3 minutes, stirring regularly. Season with salt and pepper and a squeeze of lemon juice.

Plate up the quinoa between four dishes and top with the warm prawns, a few fresh basil leaves and those deliciously juicy cherry tomatoes.
