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.

Step 1

Stick the prawns in a bowl with the garlic, shallot, red chilli and olive oil.

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.

Step 6

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