Mint Marinated Grilled Shrimp Tabbouleh Salad
Mint Marinated Grilled Shrimp Tabbouleh Salad is If you have water, coarsely cracked bulgur, shrimp, and a few other ingredients on hand, you can make it. From preparation to the plate, this recipe takes roughly 1 hour and 24 minutes.
Instructions
Grilled shrimp, recipe follows
Place bulgur in a bowl and pour the boiling water over. Cover with plastic wrap and let stand until bulgur is tender and most of the water is absorbed, about 1 to 2 hours.
Drain off any excess liquid from the bulgur and stir in the arugula, green onions and mint.
Whisk together the lemon juice, garlic and oil and season with salt and pepper.
Pour the mixture over the bulgur and season with salt and pepper.
Transfer tabbouleh to a platter and top with the grilled shrimp.
Garnish with fresh mint leaves.
Combine juice, mint, oil and pepper in a blender and blend until smooth.
Place shrimp in a bowl, pour marinade over and stir to coat evenly in the marinade. Marinate for 10 minutes.
Heat grill to high. Season shrimp with salt and grill for 1 to 2 minutes per side or until slightly charred and just cooked through.
Recommended wine: Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, Gruener Veltliner
Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, and Gruener Veltliner are my top picks for Salad. Sauvignon Blanc and Gruner Veltliner both have herby notes that complement salads with enough acid to match tart vinaigrettes, while a Chardonnay can be a good pick for creamy salad dressings. The Alderbrook Winery Chardonnay with a 4 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 15 dollars per bottle.

This wine pairs well with Fennel & Lemon Shrimp Salad, Sea Scallops with Mango Salsa, Lobster with roasted Corn Sauce, Chicken w/ Applewood Smoked Bacon & Wild Rice, Pumpkin Risotto with Sage, Salmon w/ Lemon Saffron Sauce.
