Shrimp and Quinoa

We are trying to eat healthier and I found  a recipe on pinterest that I adapted to our taste. It turned out really good and is fairly simple.

• 1 pound shrimp (cleaned and peeled)
• 2 cloves of garlic (minced)
• 1/2 red bell pepper (sliced)
• 2 large shallots (diced) - original recipe noted a 1/2 red onion could be subbed
• 1/4 cup sun-dried tomatoes (diced)
• olive oil
• 2/3 cup white wine
• 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
• Near Easy brand quinoa

Make quinoa per directions on package and allow to cook while preparing the remainder of the dish.

Melt butter over low heat in a skillet or wok.
Add garlic, shallot, red bell pepper, and sun-dried tomatoes to melted butter and allow to cook until tomatoes are soft.
Increase the heat to medium and add 1 tablespoon of butter and the wine. Mixture should come to a simmer. Allow mixture to continue to simmer until slightly reduced and shiny.
Remove mixture from pan.

Pat shrimp dry with a paper towel and sprinkle with salt& pepper.
Add 1 tablespoon of butter to the pan and increase heat to high. Sear the shrimp quickly (1-2 minutes) in the melted butter. Return prior mixture to the pan and allow it to come to a simmer. Once mixture is hot, shrimp should be pink, s
erve with the quinoa.
