Shrimp Fried Quinoa Recipe
My cooking philosophy is to keep it healthy and easy.
Recipes at Hammers N Hugs will include all-natural ingredients that can often be frozen and have been tested and approved by friends and family!
I started making this recipe several years ago, and then perfected it when I found the Maple Soy Sauce recipe in the cookbook “From Freezer to Table”. Find it here! It was so much better than what I was using. This recipe makes enough for our family of 5 and then I typically still have several quarts to freeze. The butter can be left out of the soy sauce recipe for those who are dairy free.
Bon appetit!
