1/4 tsp coarse salt
1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
1/2 cup diced red onion
8 extra-large shrimp, peeled and de-veined
3/4 cup corn
1 cup halved cherry tomatoes

Add shrimp and saute until they turn bright red and are lightly browned on the edges. Add the corn and tomatoes, and heat through for 2-3 minutes, just until the tomatoes begin to wrinkle.
4. Add cooked quinoa directly into the skillet and toss with the shrimp mixture. Add the basil and the olive oil and lemon juice mixture. Toss gently. Serve hot or at room temperature.
