Ingredients:
1 cup quinoa (or preferred grain)
1 lb peeled and deveined shrimp
½ cup buffalo sauce (store-bought or homemade)
2 oz crumbled blue cheese
2 cups lettuce or spinach (baby spinach works great)
1-2 tomatoes, diced
1 ripe avocado, sliced
Instructions:
Cook the Quinoa
Cook the quinoa according to the package instructions. Once cooked, fluff with a fork and set aside. For extra flavor, cook quinoa in vegetable broth instead of water.Sauté the Shrimp
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add a splash of olive oil and sauté the shrimp until they turn pink and are fully cooked through (about 2-3 minutes per side). Once done, toss the shrimp in buffalo sauce, coating them evenly.Assemble the Bowl
Start by layering the cooked quinoa at the bottom of your bowl. Add a generous handful of lettuce or spinach, then top with diced tomatoes and creamy avocado slices.Top with Shrimp & Blue Cheese
Arrange the buffalo-coated shrimp on top of the greens, followed by a sprinkle of crumbled blue cheese. Drizzle with a bit more buffalo sauce for extra flavor, if desired.Serve & Enjoy

Pro Tips:
For extra heat: Add a few dashes of hot sauce or sprinkle chili flakes on top for an extra kick.
Customizable: Swap in any greens or veggies you like—cucumbers, shredded carrots, or corn make great additions.
Add a crunch: Top your bowl with crispy fried onions or tortilla strips for some added texture.
