Step 1

Toss the shrimp and 1 tsp Cajun seasoning together, set aside.

Step 2

Toss the tomatoes with 1 tbsp olive oil and 1 tsp Cajun seasoning, set aside.

Step 3

Heat 1 tbsp olive oil over medium heat in a cast iron skillet (or any oven-safe skillet.) Cook the shrimp until opaque, about 2-3 minutes per side. Remove from the pan and set aside.

Step 4

Add the remaining 1 tbsp of olive oil to the pan along with the onion, jalapeno and garlic. Cook until the onion and jalapeno are tender, stirring often. Mix in the quinoa, tomato paste, 1/2 tsp Cajun seasoning and tomato chunks. Top with the shrimp and then sprinkle with the fontina cheese.

Step 5

Place in the oven and bake at 350 for 15 minutes. During the last 2 minutes, turn on the broiler to high and broil until the cheese is slightly brown and bubbly.

Step 6

Garnish with fresh cilantro.
