Pepper Shrimp Qinoa

Total prepared volume (w/o sauce) is 6 cups -- 2 servings are very large - easily makes 3 servings, especially if served with vegetables and/or salad. Cheese sauce is heavy and accounts for 300 cals per serving (600 total) -- I will be making again except w/o the cheese sauce. I did not feel the cheese sause added any taste value. High sodium is due to the shrimp I used. May choose to replace shrimp with chicken or less salty protein.
