- 3 tablespoons canola oil

- Add the remaining 1 1/2 tablespoons oil to the wok, followed by the broccoli, peppers, garlic, ginger, and edamame. Cook, stirring the entire time, for 2 to 3 minutes. Add the soy sauce and agave, cooked quinoa, and shrimp, then sprinkle with the lemon juice and sriracha and toss.
