Follow The Directions

01

Step

In a large bowl, combine the bulgur with the boiling water and olive oil. Stir gently to combine. (Prep time: 2 minutes)

02

Step

Cover the bowl tightly with plastic wrap or a lid, and let it stand for 15 to 20 minutes, or until all the water is absorbed and the bulgur is tender. (Rest time: 15-20 minutes)

03

Step

Once the bulgur is ready, fluff it with a fork. Add the lemon juice, diced cucumber, chopped green onions, parsley, and mint. (Prep time: 5 minutes)

04

Step

Season generously with ground coriander, minced ginger, sea salt, and freshly ground black pepper. Toss gently to ensure all ingredients are well combined. Adjust seasoning to your preference. (Prep time: 3 minutes)

05

Step

Arrange the chilled, cooked shrimp artfully on top of the tabbouleh salad. Serve immediately or chill for later. (Prep time: 2 minutes)

For an extra layer of flavor, consider grilling the shrimp lightly before adding them to the salad.
If you don't have fresh ginger root, 1 teaspoon of ground ginger can be substituted.
To prevent the cucumber from making the salad watery, you can salt the diced cucumber lightly and let it sit for 10 minutes, then squeeze out any excess moisture before adding it to the tabbouleh.
This salad can be made ahead of time, but it is best to add the shrimp just before serving.

    The fresh herbs really make this salad shine. I used a combination of parsley, mint, and dill.

    I added a drizzle of honey for a touch of sweetness. It balanced out the acidity of the lemon perfectly.

    Substituted quinoa for the bulgur and it worked great for a gluten-free option.
