Step 1

In medium saucepan over medium-high heat, bring 4 cups water and chicken bouillon to boil. Add quinoa. Simmer, stirring occasionally, until tender, about 10 minutes; drain.

Step 2

In medium bowl, mixed together cooked quinoa, scallions, tomatoes, lemon juice, olive oil, sazonador, jalapeños, cilantro and sugar until combined; set aside.

Step 3

In medium bowl, combine shrimp, lime juice, garlic and adobo; set aside. Heat ¼ cup oil in medium skillet over medium-high heat. Add onions; cook, stirring occasionally, until golden brown, about 10 minutes. Add tomato sauce and sazón; bring to a simmer; remove from heat. Transfer sauce, chipotle chiles, chipotle sauce and ½ cup water to bowl of food processor. Purée until thick and smooth, about 1 minute; set aside.

Step 4

Meanwhile, using paper towels, pat shrimp dry. Heat remaining ¼ cup oil in medium skillet over medium-high heat. Cook shrimp, in batches, flipping once, until pink, about 2 minutes; set aside to keep warm.

Step 5

Transfer reserved sauce to hot skillet; bring to a simmer, stirring constantly. Stir in shrimp. Lower heat to medium-low. Simmer, stirring occasionally, until shrimp is coated in sauce, about 2 minutes more.

Step 6
