In a medium saucepan add 2 cups of vegetable stock, and bring to a boil. Add in your rinsed quinoa.
Reduce the heat, simmer, and cook, covered for 12-15 minutes. Check to see if most of the liquid has been absorbed. Let stand for 5 minutes, cover, and then fluff your quinoa with a fork.
Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook shrimp for a minute or two on each side until golden brown and translucent on the inside. Sprinkle with sea salt and pepper to your taste.
In a large serving bowl, add chopped lettuce, onion, cherry tomatoes, quinoa, and your cooked shrimp.
Add in dollops of your green pesto and stir everything well to combine.
