Tahini is a sesame seed paste that has a spicy bite to it. Can be used to complement a variety of dishes. Add just enough to your liking. Just because a recipe might call for a specific amount, the person that created it may very well have a different taste tolerance. Experiment!
Serves (a hungry) 1
1/3 cup dry quinoa
1/4 cup frozen shrimp, defrosted
1/4 cup carrots, chopped
1/4 cup celery, chopped
1 tsp tahini
1/2 tsp dried basil
1 tsp olive oil
Splash of lime juice
Bring quinoa and 2 part water to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for about 15 minutes or until quinoa has soaked up the water and is tender.
Meanwhile, in a separate bowl combine tahini, lime juice, and basil. Coat shrimp in sauce mixture and set aside.
In last couple minutes of quinoa's cooking time, add carrots, celery, olive oil, and shrimp. Stir to combine.
Top dish with remaining sauce and enjoy!
