Ingredients

Method

In saucepan, combine quinoa and 2 cups water. Season with salt and pepper. Bring to boil. Reduce heat, cover and cook until water is absorbed and quinoa is tender, 12 to 15 minutes. Fluff with fork. (Make-ahead: Can be cooled and covered and refrigerated for up to 5 days.) 

Meanwhile, in large skillet, heat oil over high heat. Add shrimp and pap­rika; cook, turning halfway through cook­ing time, until shrimp are golden brown, about 4 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.

Combine quinoa and 1/3 cup Tomato & Lime Vinaigrette. Divide dressed quinoa among 4 bowls. Top each with shrimp, avocado, corn, feta and onion. Sprinkle with cilantro, and jalapeño slices, if using. Serve with remaining dressing, and lime wedges, if using.

Tomato & Lime Vinaigrette

In bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup canola oil, 1/4 cup ketchup, 3 tbsp lime juice, 2 tbsp maple syrup, 2 tsp chili powder and 1 tsp garlic powder. (Make-ahead: Can be covered and refrigerated for up to 5 days.) Makes about 1 cup.
