Shrimp fried quinoa

2 cups cooked quinoa (I normally use left over, chilled quinoa)
2-3 tablespoons coconut oil (you can sub another just don't do olive oil cuz it leaves a weird taste)
1/2 a red bell pepper chopped into bite size pieces
1/2 a yellow bell pepper chopped
2 eggs
3/4 cup thawed frozen peas (I've used fresh snow peas/sugar snap peas in pods)
1tablespoon+ of brags liquid amino acids (it's a lower sodium soy sauce alternative, can use soy sauce if you want)
2 servings of cooked shrimp shelled and detailed (I use the pre cooked and frozen shrimp thawed, can sub cooked bite sized chicken or steak too!)

In a big frying pan melt oil on medium high heat, add quinoa, and coat in the oil, cook a few minutes, add shrimp and amino acids. Move around the pan to get a coat of oil, then add bell peppers and peas and let cooked a few minutes to tenderize a bit. Scramble eggs and add salt and pepper if Ou wish. In the pan push quinoa mixture to one side of the pan to make room to fry up the scrambled eggs, or you can use a separate pan to cook them up then add to the quinoa mixture and stir in.
