AMAZING flavor. I wasn't sure about all the onion, but WOW. I used half of a red onion and 2 green onions cut up an sauted. REALLY amazing, and not that oniony taste that I truly despise. This recipe is being added right into my bi-weekly dishes!

My husband and I loved it. It's healthy and yummy. I didnt have mushroom and parsley. But it was still good. I cooked quinoa in chicken broth instead of plain water. Also, substituted lime with lemon.

Very nice recipe. I cut the oil. Added fresh garlic, dried cranberries instead of raisins, added more lime (to taste...we love it) and added chopped hot pepper to the red and green sweet peppers, plus a good handful of chopped kale to increase the healthy benefits. Everyone loved it, even my picky kids.

Just finished eating this and everyone thought it was delicious. I cooked the shrimp in garlic and a tad of butter before putting it into the dish. I'm not saying that it tasted any better because of that, it was just what I did. The addition of a lot of freshly grated ginger and lime is genius. Quinoa is becoming a family favourite because of it's great nutritional qualities and this recipe is most definitely a keeper. Thank you.

Good, but added twice the green pepper, mushrooms and green beans (instead of asparagus), added 4 cloves of garlic - minced, and 1 tsp of hot sauce

Everybody in my family love it. I put red peppers instead of green peppers and since I love spicy food, I add a bit of pepper flakes. It was simply awesome.

This recipe provided a great backbone for a delicious dinner. I made a few substitutions, based on what I had in the house (chicken for the shrimp, yellow bell pepper for the asparagus) and added a red chili, garlic and a handful of spinach. A great introduction to quinoa!!

Although I felt this recipe was basically very good, I felt it lacked flavoring and needed spices of some sort. The ginger/lime didn't really give it enough distinctive flavor, and the dish was rather plain. I would experiment using garlic or sesame oil in the future.

DELICIOUS!!! Before I made this I read over a bunch of the reviews and tweaked it according to what I thought would better fit my taste and the dish. I cooked the quinoa with chicken stock instead of water, used a red pepper instead of green, doubled the mushrooms and along with the asparagus I added fresh green beans. When heating the olive oil I added a teaspoon of minced garlic. I used frozen pre-cooked shrimp and a lemon instead of a lime. And don't be afraid to add the raisins, I was skeptical but the melt into the recipe perfectly! My boyfriend who isn't a big fan of quinoa absolutely LOVED it and we both couldn't get enough. I made it twice in one week!
