Southwestern Style Quinoa

Something that's been on my to do list is to make Quinoa (pronounced Keen-wa), and no, I don't know how you get one from the other.  At any rate, I've eaten it a few times before and had positive sentiments, but have yet to make it myself.  Quinoa is somewhat like rice, but also a source of protein.  I bought a box from Trader's Joe's and it said, and I paraphrase, I could just whoop it up in my rice maker.  So I did.   

Done!

Ok, well I guess that's it, but how to eat?  I came up with this concoction.  Loosely based off something I saw on Pinterest, but in no way the same either.  (I'm assuming that made sense.)

Sauteed Spinach and Garlic in Olive Oil... or the way to start any meal

Frying shrimp with a heavy hand of taco seasoning.  If you don't cook shrimp regularly, be sure to cook until pink and puffy, but not much longer.

Add Quinoa to Saute pan 

Now the other players

My southwestern additives are: Avocado, Corn, Tomatoes, Black Beans, Spinach, and Parsley

Then topped with Cheese, Sour Cream and Shrimp.

I think I found the most indulgent way to eat Quinoa short of coating it in chocolate, but I must say twas' scrumptious, if a cook can compliment herself.  Also, I skipped the shrimp on the second leftover round and it was hardly missed.
