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.
