Baked shrimp santorini is an elegant recipe for this great tasting seafood - shrimps. I love this great recipe that is inspired by Greek cuisine. Originally the shrimp are baked in flavorful tomato gravy with feta cheese and serve along orzo pasta. But here I am substituting the orzo with quinoa for making it bulging and fiber rich. Quinoa will add more value to the recipe as it is a rich source of complex carbohydrates and protein. Now this recipe is a wholesome meal package for a bodybuilder, enjoy the Greek flavors of cuisine without compromising with your diet. It is full of protein, good carbs and fiber. A satisfying dinner recipe to try after a long day of activity.
