I poured out 2 cups of vegetable broth
and prepared the ginger by cutting off a piece and removing the skin.

I grated the ginger into the vegetable broth.

In a medium saucepan, I combined the ginger broth with 1 cup of Quinoa on high heat to bring to a boil.
Once boiling, I covered and let simmer until broth was gone (about 15 minutes).

While the ginger quinoa is cooking you can start prepping your shrimp (pulling the tails off) and veggies (cutting and cleaning).

I coated the bottom of the wok in Sesame Oil and turned on low heat.

I added the shrimp first and then my prepped veggies.
If you were wondering where the carrots came from...they were purchased prepped:)
Once all ingredients were added, I stirred them together coating them in the sesame oil and then covered the wok, leaving it on low heat.

Wow, I almost forgot the garlic!
I chopped 3 cloves of garlic and added to the wok.

It takes about 15 minutes on low heat to completely cook the shrimp.
