Spicy Cajun Shrimp Quinoa Skillet

Spicy Cajun Shrimp + Quinoa Skillet

Heat up your night!

OR not…lol. I love a little spice, but if you don’t, you can leave out the jalapeno pepper.

Cajun seasonings only contribute a tiny, tiny bit of spice…so adjust to your families tastes!

No matter how you like your shrimp, this is on the table in minutes, and a complete meal when served alongside a vegetable.
