JPG's Quinoa Jambalaya

A healthy twist to a southern favorite. I was suprised how much flavor and the lack of calories and carbs!

Onion, chopped
2 Zucchini, chopped
2 Red Bell Peppers, chopped
2 Cloves of Garlic, minced
Extra Lean Turkey
1/2 cup of Dry Quinoa
1 cup of Chicken Broth (no salt or reduced sodium)a
1/2 lb of Shrimp, peeled & deveined
Sea Salt & Pepper (I used Ms Dash instead of Salt to cut the sodium)

1. Saute onion, zucchini, bell peppers, garlic, & chicken in a pan for 5 minutes (you will need a large pan!).
2. Add the quinoa & stir. Cook 2 minutes.
3. Add broth & tomatoes & bring to a boil. Reduce heat & cover. Simmer for 10 minutes.
4. Add shrimp & cover to simmer again. Simmer for 5-10 minutes (or until the shrimp are cooked through).
5. Add sea salt & pepper to taste.
