This is a filling and delicious dinner. Quinoa pack more calories per cup than any grain, therefore it is great for the mountaineer! I got this recipe for a book called Backpack Gourmet Had it last summer and it was great! It saves lots of money compared to commercially prepared just add water camping food, and it tastes better too! (Don't forget the Tabasco, and remember to bring salt and pepper packets). Ingredients:

2 3/4 cups water |
2 tablespoons olive oil |
1 onion (minced) |
1 bell pepper (minced) |

1 (28 ounce) can crushed tomatoes |
1 (15 ounce) can small white beans, drained |
8 ounces shrimp (uncooked, shelled, deveined, minced) |
