  • Prepare the Quinoa:
    • Bring salted water to a boil.
    • In a dry pan over medium heat, toast the quinoa for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly. Once it begins to pop, count to 5, then remove from heat immediately to avoid burning.
    • Add the toasted quinoa to the boiling water and cook for about 12 minutes, or until all the water is absorbed and the quinoa is tender.
  • Make the Lemon Garlic Infusion:
    • While the quinoa is cooking, combine minced garlic with freshly squeezed lemon juice in a small bowl. Let it sit to infuse the flavors.
  • Cool and Flavor the Quinoa:
    • Once the quinoa is cooked, remove it from heat. Stir in the lemon juice and garlic mixture, mixing thoroughly to ensure the flavors are evenly distributed. Set aside to cool completely.
  • Prepare the Vegetables and Herbs:
    • Dice all the vegetables (e.g., tomatoes, cucumbers) into small, uniform pieces, about 1/4-inch in size.
    • Finely chop parsley and mint leaves.
  • Assemble the Tabouli:
    • When the quinoa has cooled, combine it with the diced vegetables and chopped herbs in a large bowl. Mix well to create a vibrant, fresh tabouli.
  • Serve with Grilled Shrimp:
    • Grill the shrimp to perfection and serve alongside or on top of the quinoa tabouli for a delicious, refreshing dish.
  • Enjoy:
    • Perfect for a light meal or as a side dish!
