Healthy Shrimp Stir-Fry with Quinoa (Easy 20 Minute Recipe)

This healthy shrimp stir-fry with quinoa is an easy 20-minute recipe that’s high in protein, packed with vegetables, and perfect for a quick weeknight dinner or meal prep.

I started making this recipe without really thinking about it, and now it’s become part of my regular rotation. It usually happens on a day when I want something healthy but still satisfying, I don’t feel like overcomplicating dinner, and I want it to come together quickly. I started making this after picking up one of those Marks & Spencer stir-fry veggie packs, and it just worked. It felt light, flavorful, and actually filling in a way that a lot of “healthy” meals are not.

What I love most about this shrimp stir-fry is how easy it is to adapt. If I already have quinoa cooked, it comes together in about 15 minutes. If not, it is still simple enough to make on a weeknight without feeling like a project.
