Instructions

  1. Rinse the quinoa under cold water, then combine it with vegetable broth in a medium pot. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes or until the liquid is absorbed. Fluff with a fork and set aside.
  2. Preheat your broiler on high. In a large bowl, combine the mixed shellfish, minced garlic, olive oil, lemon juice, lemon zest, salt, and black pepper. Toss until the shellfish are well coated.
  3. In a large broiler-safe skillet, heat a little olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced zucchini, bell pepper, and cherry tomatoes. Sauté for about 3-4 minutes until slightly softened.
  4. Add the cooked quinoa to the skillet with the vegetables and stir to combine. Spread the shellfish mixture evenly over the top.
  5. Broil for 5-7 minutes, or until the shellfish are cooked through and have opened up. Remove from the broiler and sprinkle with fresh parsley before serving.
