 A quick, fresh meal that's bursting with tropical flavor—perfect for busy weeknights!

🍽️ Ingredients 🍽️  
- 2 cloves garlic, minced  
- 1 lb shrimp, peeled and deveined  
- Zest and juice of 2 limes  
- 1/2 cup coconut milk  
- Salt and pepper, to taste  
- 1 cup quinoa, rinsed  
- 2 cups water or broth  
- Zest and juice of 1 lime  
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil or olive oil  
- Fresh cilantro, chopped for garnish  

🧑‍🍳 Directions 🧑‍🍳  
1. Prepare the Quinoa: In a medium pot, bring 2 cups of water or broth to a boil. Add the rinsed quinoa and a pinch of salt. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and let it simmer for about 15 minutes or until all the liquid is absorbed. Fluff the quinoa with a fork and mix in the lime zest and juice. Set aside.  
2. Marinate the Shrimp: In a bowl, blend the coconut milk, zest and juice of 2 limes, minced garlic, salt, and pepper. Add the shrimp to the marinade, ensuring they are well coated. Let sit for 10-15 minutes.  
3. Cook the Shrimp: Heat the coconut oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Remove the shrimp from the marinade, letting the excess drip off, and place them in the skillet. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until they are pink and cooked through.  
4. Serve: Divide the lime quinoa among plates and top with the cooked shrimp. Garnish with fresh cilantro and additional lime wedges if desired.
