Chef's Notes & Tips

Tip 1 of 3

To maximize flavor, toss the shrimp and asparagus in a bowl with the garlic and olive oil before roasting to ensure an even coating.

Tip 2 of 3

Fluff the quinoa with a fork immediately after cooking to keep the texture light rather than gummy.

Tip 3 of 3

Zest half of the lemon before juicing to use as a fresh aromatic finish over the finished plate.
