Harissa Quinoa with Shrimp and Chickpeas

Flavors are nice, but the texture didn't work. We both usually like quinoa, but in this case, it felt gritty against the shrimp, cuke, and chickpeas. I think rice might be better (if longer cooking), or even omit and serve over linguine. The taste was very good though. Made a more-or-less 2/3 recipe to serve two. (Whole recipe advertised as serving 3-4.) Used frozen cooked shrimp. Might cut them in half to make pieces somewhat smaller. The touch of lemon and cilantro at the end are not to be missed.
