  • Heat 2 tsp. oil in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Add shallot and cook, stirring often, until fragrant, about 2 minutes. Add the remaining 1 tsp. oil and mushrooms; cook, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms begin to turn golden, 2 to 3 minutes.

  • Add garlic, crushed red pepper, and shrimp; cook, stirring, for 1 minute. Stir in 1/2 cup broth and cook, stirring and scraping up any browned bits, for 1 minute.

  • Reduce heat to medium. Stir in the quinoa and the remaining 1/4 cup broth; cook, stirring, until the liquid has almost evaporated, about 2 minutes. Stir in parsley, salt, and pepper. Sprinkle with Parmesan. Serve immediately, with lemon wedges.
