- Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Once hot, grill the marinated shrimp for about 2-3 minutes per side, or until they are pink and opaque. Remove from heat and set aside.
- In a separate bowl, prepare the avocado salsa by combining diced avocado, cherry tomatoes, red onion, lime juice, and a pinch of salt. Gently mix to combine, being careful not to mash the avocado.
- To assemble the bowls, spoon cooked quinoa into serving bowls as the base. Top with grilled shrimp and a generous scoop of avocado salsa.
