  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Toss chopped bell peppers and zucchini with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread on a baking sheet and roast for 15-20 minutes until tender.
  2. Meanwhile, rinse quinoa under cold water. In a medium saucepan, combine quinoa with 2 cups of water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes until water is absorbed.
  3. While quinoa cooks, mince garlic. In a large skillet, heat remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add garlic and sauté for 30 seconds.
  4. Add shrimp to the skillet, sprinkle with oregano, salt, and pepper. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side until shrimp are pink and opaque.
  5. Juice half the lemon over the cooked shrimp. Fluff the cooked quinoa with a fork.
  6. Serve the garlic shrimp over a bed of quinoa, with roasted vegetables on the side. Garnish with lemon wedges.
